Knitted lace snowflakes!  It is intriguing that in God's handywork, no two snowflakes are alike.  This pattern includes 2 types of construction, each quite different from the other, plus variations for knitting snowflake medallions.

 

This is the next installment in the seasonal series which began with " Playing in the Leaves".

 

These snowflake medallions only hint at the abundance of detail that occurs in nature.  The formations of a snowflake alter the path of light passing through it, thus causing areas of light and dark.  This seemed like a natural match for interpreting in lace!

Although snowflakes themselves are colorless, do not be limited to using only white yarn.  Try choosing silk yarns with beads and sequins to give hints of light dancing off snowflakes.  Also, try colors that simulate some of the hues of earth and sky that reflect through snowflakes.
