Snowflake Monday

Pattern updated as of 23 January 2011

If there's anything in Colorado we have more of than mountains, it may well be

mines! Colorado has a rich history of mining.

Mount Antero, standing at 14, 269 feet, is the 10th tallest peak in Colorado. Because

of the high concentration of state gem aquamarine, a dirt four-wheel-drive road

climbs nearly to the summit of this steep monster. Antero is famous for the vast

collection of gemstones within its soil, and it is blanketed nearly head to toe with

assorted mining claims.

This peak was named for Ute Indian Chief Antero. South of Mount Princeton and

Buena Vista, it is one of 14 14ers in the Sawatch Range. No, that's not a misprint! An

annual footrace traverses this chain of mountains, aptly named Nolan's 14. The 88- to

106-mile race sees more than 44,000 feet of elevation gain in 60 hours or less. Fewer

than 10 athletes have completed Nolans 14. Nolan's 14 is the only place in the world

where runners can ascend 14 peaks reaching more than 14,000 feet in so few

(few?!?!?) miles.

I have not yet climbed Mount Antero, but it's on my list. Because that rough dirt

road scales this peak, I have wanted to climb it on my mountain bike for more than a

decade. I've given it one try, and I didn't even reach treeline. Now, married to a

powerful mountain biker who demonstrates tons of patience with my slow pace and

lack of climbing stamina, perhaps 2011 will be my year.

One of Antero's most popular trailheads is near a ghost town named St. Elmo. St.

Elmo also is an electro-luminescent corona discharge in the air during thunderstorms.

This week's patterns include a treasure box in honor of the gems still hidden atop

this mountain and a bonus pattern named after the ghost town that sits in the

shadow of Mount Antero and which burned in 2002.

You may do whatever you'd like with snowflakes you make from this pattern, but you

may not sell or republish the pattern. Thanks, and enjoy!

At some point during climbing,

whether on foot or on a bike,

I've learned to stop thinking

about the force that's pulling

me down, and wonder about

the force that's pulling me up.

fits around duct-taped end of

spool. If your tension is different

than mine, you may adjust by

making fewer or more chains,

keeping a multiple of 6. (If 6 chains

are too much of an increase or

decrease, just even out the

stitches in Round 2 by skipping 1

double crochet instead of 2,

evenly spaced, such as one on

each side if you need to adjust by

2 stitches or a third of the way

around if you need to adjust by 3 stitches, etc., to make up for the shortage or

overage. These tiny adjustments will not show in final project.) Being careful not to

See that hideous red spot on the bag? Don't let any colors on the grocery bag show.

I should have chopped the color off. During the stiffening process, the color

transfered to the snowflake. Aaargh!

Slide box top onto thread spool over duct tape and straighten. Slide box bottom

I've gazed at Antero from afar many many times. One of our most secret

camping hideaways has a view of it, and we set up our La Fuma campchairs,

put up our feet, and watch its light change over the day. I'm already looking

forward to visiting that spot next summer!

Great photos!

Your treasure box with the architectural snowflake base and lid is just plain

magnificent and your mountain pictures are so crazy beautiful. Great tutorial!

I love your Elmo Snowflake Pomander, and can hardly wait to make it. I have

made some of your snowflakes so far, and currently making the Rose

snowflake.

I just finished making the treasure box from acrylic yarn and a size I hook,

since that's what I had available. It turned out looking amazing and I love it :)

Thank you so much!!

Anonymous, I'd love to see what you've made! I'll bet the treasure box in yarn

is wonderful!
