Countdown to the Equinox, Part 2 - Snowdrops

 

Snowdrops

 

I was originally going to use white, but it looked too stark against my hand-dyed threads.  Fortunately, one doesn’t have to imagine the impossible here — they do actually exist!  https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=pink+snowdrops

You’ll need pink on one shuttle, green on another.  And these CAN be different greens – there are a lot of different green colors we’re starting to see – all lovely together.  Mother Nature knows what she’s doing.

 

With pink, R: 10+ (to p of shamrock – each shamrock petal will have two joins) 7-3

R: 3+ 7+ (to next shamrock petal) 10

With green, CH: 9-6

ST, turn, CH: -6+

ST, turn, CH: 3-3+9

 

Repeat around…  At the end you’ll have 12 pairs of snowdrops and 12 arcs of chain.
