Now that's an impossible thing to do as I'm a real ditherer. I need nagging/prompting to make decisions but once I make them I act!! I really couldn't decide which colours to make the next snowflakes out of - thus the dithering.
Today I've got two more of the Snowflower pattern to show you. The green is a variegated cotton thread but the red is polyester.
You may ask 'why' or 'does it work' - mixing the two types?
Well the answer to the first question (why) is because I'd got the green cotton thread out to work with and forgot a contrast. Rather than get up and potter back into the other room I grabbed what was sitting on the table next to me and that happened to be the polyester thread which came from Edda.

I've not tried 'burning' the ends as recommended but automatically sewed in the final ends. Not a problem at all!!!
Something else I did yesterday is to stop all notifications from the tatting Facebook groups. I was finding it was generating too many emails which distracted me from other things. I only really 'pop' into Facebook in the morning or when the rare email tickles my interest!!! I'd rather tat instead!!!

Very Christmassy, lovely. Interesting that you can mix different types of thread with no problem.
These colours are striking - what size is the cotton thread you used?
The green is 20 and I suppose the red is too!!!!
Nice combination looks good. Sometimes my shuttles are just thread holders and you grab what works 💟
They look great!! :)
I love the two colors.
Bright and cheerful!
Very festive.
