Snowflake Mondays 2009

[marikamum]

Welcome everyone to Snowflake Mondays 2009 CAL!

The idea is simple:
A new free on-line snowflake pattern will be posted every Monday (somewhere between Sydney, Australia's Monday morning and wherever Monday ends at the latest ).

Feel free to offer up suggestions!!! PLEASE! We will try not to duplicate flakes from last year's CAL if possible (I will post a list of our complete list of flakes in a later post...)

To join the CAL you must have the desire to do, look at or discuss crocheted snowflakes (it would be nice if you did the ones from the CAL, a bonus if you did them on the week they are posted, but, hey, we are not picky round here .) Edited to add: BTW, we are a "friendly" (and to be honest rather chatty) CAL, so be forewarned! We can pretty much guarantee that we will not stay 100% on topic .

I will endeavor to keep a running list of weekly flakes in this first post, and should I fail, hopefully my trusty helper missmaxx will jump to the rescue in another post on this first page of posts.

Looking forward to being y with you all this year!

If you would like a button for your blog, Missmaxx and Quilt Crossover have both designed them - check out the posts linked to their names and contact them by PM for your choice of button .
Regards,
Marika
akaWanda (the Fairy Odd-mother of the CAL)

I am glad to see that this cal is starting new. By the time I found the ville last year, it was in full swing and a little intimidating. I am all over this one! I look foward to lots of awesome snowflakes.

[sticksnhooks]

I would love to this one. I might get behind tho, I work partime in winter and full time in the summer, but I will do my best to keep up.

[missmaxx]

Thanks Marika (aka Wanda the Wonderful). I'll be ready to step in if you need me.

(can't get much warmer!) regards,
Cosmo

I'm in and raring(sp?) to go..My personal theory is to crochet snowflakes on monday's only..That way I can do my 99 other things the rest of the week..But alas it's ONLY a theory..lol

[Carousel]

Oh! I have decided to do snowflakes next year as part of my list of things to do. Not sure if I can keep up with the Monday's but I will try. I home school my DD so by February I need to get back to school work.

[missmaxx]

It's great to see so many flake makers ready to go! I did the 2008 CAL and there were lots of times I had to play catch up. I'm happy to say I did it! I had 52+ new snowflakes for gifting this year.
The many bonuses include getting to know the worlds best snowflake makers.
Welcome to Snowflakes 2009.

We hope to not be too intimidating - remember - we do not require that you actually do all of the flakes all of the time on any schedule - we just post them weekly. We do hope you stop in and chat and support those actually working the flakes even if you are not flaking at the time ...

No worries, just do what you can and join in on the fun when you can .

That's okay, I will start teaching first grade full time in February and may not keep up with the actual flake making either (I count on Cosmo for that, mostly )
