Crochet Snowflake Fun!

 My Grame shared some crocheted snowflake patterns with me when I was a teenager and I finally did all of them (that I wanted to do).  Here's pictures of them so now I can know which ones I'd like to do again!

If you click in the middle of each picture, it'll enlarge it a bit :)
