Review: 100 Snowflakes To Crochet

Ok, so my crochet is getting a little bit better but hardly an expert.  When I received a copy of 100 Snowflakes to Crochet by Caitlin Sainio from St Martin's Griffin, I figured it was as good a time as any to work on crocheting. 

There really are 100 different snowflake patterns to work with. Some are definitely more advanced than others.  I tried to start a few but my frustration set in and unraveled the whole thing but I didn't give up. I was determind to share a snowflake that I created. 

After all the patterns, the book shares some great ways to incorporate your snowflake in different designs. 

And finally, here is my attempt making a snowflake.  Not bad for my first time doing something that's not a scarf or blanket.  As someone who continues to struggle with a simple Granny Square, I'm pretty happy with how this came out. I think I may hang it on my Christmas tree.  :)
