I can't decide what to call this pattern. I'm leaning toward "Poinsettia," because it reminds me of the star-like bracts of a
poinsettia. I can't call it "snowflake," because there are eight sections, not six (I'm picky that way)-- plus there are already lots of snowflake-related pattern names out there. As well as flower petals, the lace motifs also remind me of cascading water, which is why I'm also considering "Carlotta," after
Villa Carlotta in Tremezzo, Italy, which has an abundance of both fountains and flowers.
If anyone has any other ideas for names, let me know; if I decide to use yours, I'll email you the pattern pdf free of charge (when it's finished!)-- and if I really love the name, I'll also send you the yarn to make it (Rowan Purelife Organic Wool*).
