I made these “Handy Spider Webs” last night:
Sometimes you need to take a break from worthy charity knitting and serious garment construction, and make something whimsical. The pattern is a Ravelry download.
I’ve also been enchanted by dust lately.
Yes. Dust.
Specifically, the dust under my table loom:
Which is rainbow coloured to match my Leftovers Blanket.
I did some more weaving on said blanket yesterday. No point taking pics, though. They’d look just like the last ones I took. Though the weaving is fun, every time I wind on the warp I can’t help hoping to see the ends come into sight. It seems like I’ve been weaving this for months and months. It’s starting to seem a little bit like the Neverending Warp.
And yet I’m a little reluctant to finish, as I can’t decide what to make next.
We so have to take you dancing with those spidey gloves ….
I want to make a silvery pair now…
ooh, silvery.
You could get a silver spider trinket and sew it in, that would be good…actually that’s an idea for a gift I think someone I know would like…
Yeah, I am tempted to go looking for some spider charms.
They look fantastic in person 🙂
Here is the crochet cogs I mentioned last night.

Thanks, Amanda. They are fabulous! I’ve never been into crochet lace trim, but now I really want to edge something with these. Or join them together to make a scarf.
Mind you, those parasols you make are gorgeous and amazing.
Thank you. I must admit, I enjoy making my ladies for others. Seeing the enjoyment others get from them is fabulous. I’ll be getting back onto sewing more parasols after the wedding is over with. 🙂
