Today’s snowflake pattern (#51, for those of you who care) is the second one in the book (so far) that called for beads (I made the first one last year). As with the previous one, I just ignored the part about the beads, but this time I also adjusted the pattern accordingly by adding in picots (yes, really, on purpose, sigh) as I crocheted it.
If nothing else, making all these snowflakes has definitely improved my confidence with crochet (although not so much my gauge or speed, but shhh, let me have this moment).
