The Sixth Day

Well it is quite appropriate that I should post this snowflake on the 6th October!  But really not tatting them very quickly as other things have taken over my life at the moment.   Hopefully though, I will at one point, be able to show two at a time, otherwise I will never finish this challenge before Christmas.


I spent an hour today picking sloes in order to make sloe gin, this evening they were put in the gin, another job done.

  1. Do you have to leave the sloes for a while before you drink the gin? How long? I like the red one, eyecatching.

    1. Yes Jane we leave the sloes soaking in the gin and sugar until Christmas Day and then strain the sloes so there is just liquid left, bottle it and drink it! But it keeps and matures. It has become a family tradition, but usually my son and I pick them but when he visited us to do the picking it rained!

  2. Lovely Christmasy colour! Don't think you were 'tipsy' when you tatted it!

    1. No Anne was not allowed to touch the gin as it was reserved for the sloes!

    1. Thanks Diane, just trying to make the snowflakes a little bit different by not making them all white.
