A Winner

Frivole's Astrila snowflake pattern is certainly a winner. My tatting of it, not so much. This is my third attempt. I was half way round the first time when I realised that I'd missed the join at the base of a chain on each repeat.  I carried on working in the same way. The result is fine, but not quite the same as the original snowflake Frivole was aiming for:
So I thought I'd tat another one, correctly. I was just about finished number two when I realised I'd missed out a ring early on. That was a fatal flaw, no way of sorting it out, I won't show you the result. Here are numbers one and three side by side:
I used size 20 thread and they measure 9 cm across.

    I haven’t tatted this yet but did it’s cousin Calixa and had similar issues! Thankfully it/they/yours still look nice. We just know it’s not “right”...

    Astrila is a lovely pattern! It's comforting to know that I am not the only making mistakes!

    Stick with it! You have the skills, have a great pattern to use, you will succeed and have beautiful lace to show!

    I agree with Michelle - it is not overtly obvious. Both are winners along with you 💖

    This snowflake is one of her best patterns, and your snowflake is looking good
