Who wants a design KAL?

We do! We do!

Suzanne's first swatch of the snowflake stitch pattern. Isn't it gorgeous?

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

• Use the "Snowflake Lace" motif in any NEW design

• Finish stitching the design by the end of the year (2012 that is!)

• Take beautiful photos, far away and very close up to show the stitching (email to me by Jan 15)

• Suzanne and I plan to critique the other's item on this blog, and I'd be happy to give any hints I can on anyone else's (Publicly or privately)

I hope someone besides us decides to KAL and keep us posted in comments! I love to see other's design work.

My goal with this is to get both Suzanne and I to finish a lovely shawl design by the end of the year, Suzanne will be wrapping up her "12 in 2012" with the Snowflake Project.
