Large spiders



I don't speak Italian, but I named this motif "large spiders".  It is more of a practice piece than anything else.  I had initially considered doing three repeats, but the large spiders are very similar to the small spiders, so I figured I didn't need to make three repeats.  Of course, I will still have to check the book whenever I use it, but making an third repeat would not take care of that!

A motif with these large spiders is already in progress.  Well, the base row is made.  I have yet to make an actual spider:)

Speaking of spiders, our house spiders are starting to make an appearance again.  There is something comforting in having a spider in almost every corner of the house...

  1. You are funny! I am also comforted by spiders and most folks give me an odd look if I admit this. Arachnids (spelling?) are not well loved in most places!

    I read somewhere that human beings are never more than 6 or 5 feet away from a spider - ever!

    I like to remind some spider-sweaters if the futility of their actions with this amazing bit of info. : ))

  3. I've been fascinated by this lace technique for a long time. I even have books about it, but I have yet to try it. Your spiders are beautiful!
