It’s kind of funny, but you can look back over the pictures of this month and see how big this crochet spider web has gotten based on how much of Marmie it covers. It now covers her entirely.

I wonder how big a spider would have to be in order to make a web this big…

 

 
In my lap is my current crochet project – the silver web. Beneath that is my orange tabby, Marmalade. Beneath her is a cozy blanket, and beneath that is my heating pad because I hate being cold. And beneath all that, of course, is me. And as far as Marmie is concerned, none of these items is moving, because this exact combination of yarn, human, blanket and heating pad all equal cat Nirvana. Seriously, her little motor is just purring away, and she will not move for anything!

 

 
Ta-daa! Here is my simple little ghost. I need to cut out a little round piece of black felt and glue or sew it on for the mouth, but he’s otherwise done. Princess says not to add the mouth, he looks perfect as is. I’ll sleep on it and see how I feel tomorrow. Right now though, I’m ready to crash. I had yet another Girl Scout event to deal with, this one a meeting for service unit volunteers, and right now I’m all Girl Scouted out.

 

 
I am sooooooooooooooooo tired. I spent yesterday with the Girl Scouts at the archery range. Today, we had the troop over for our monthly troop meeting, and I spent 5 hours listening to a gaggle of girls discuss, debate and argue over what we’re doing over the next few months. It was exhausting, to say the least. So exhausting that I do not have the brain power tonight to work on either the Nautilus pattern or the spider web. Therefore I switched to something much more simple. So I grabbed some white yarn and just started crocheting in the round. This will eventually become a ghost, but for tonight, it’s just something to keep me from from using up my last 2 brain cells.

 

 
Very tired today, but I managed to get 3 rounds done on this web. Yay!

 

 
I need to do a bit of hand sewing on this to finish up the rough edges of the netted yarn, but otherwise this one is finished! I’m going to do another with the second skein of Halloween yarn and then decide how I want to stitch the two together. Do I want to make a shrug, or stitch the two halves together to make a lacy poncho? I haven’t decided yet.

Tomorrow, I’ll get started on the next one, and figure this out when that half is done 🙂

 

 
I’m almost finished with the first skein of this yarn. Thinking of using the second skein to make a second shawl, then stitch the two together to form a shrug or poncho!
