Snowflake # 2 '07
Snowflake # 2 '07

*Note*  I didn't have my pinning board when I added stiffner to this snowflake, so the points are little off, it's a very forgiving snowflake and makes a very pretty lacy when pinned as it should be. Hopefully I'll be able to replace this picture soon!

Making Twist: looking at work, twist the ch 12 counter clockwise or to your left. You should have a loop and a twist.  Hold the twist in place with your thumb and work tr, ch 1 tr 6 time into loop of twist (7 tr stitches and 6 ch 1 spaces)* Repeat * to * 5 times, close round with slip stitch into first sc.  
 +After a few tr stitches have been worked you should be able to let go of the twist. You make have to shift the triple stitches around on the loop to even them out. All in all it’s pretty forgiving and makes a pretty snowflake point every time.
