Spiderweb Kerchief!
I actually finished a Halloween pattern in time for Halloween. What joy!
Lately I've been enjoying working with finer yarns and more delicate, lacy stitches. I used to stick with mostly size G, H, and I hooks with worsted yarn, and took a lot of pride in that! Especially since so many crafters seem to eschew chunky yarns and big stitches in favor of "fussier" projects. Well, I didn't, for a long time. I liked pieces that worked up fast and looked big, bodacious, and a little tacky.
Lately, though, I find myself with a lot more time on my hands. I'm home a lot more. I rest more. My life has slowed down dramatically in the past year - and this is a good thing! The first 25 years of my life I felt like I was constantly climbing uphill, fighting for something or fighting against someone, working toward the next goal, the next achievement, the next patch on the imaginary Girl Scouts vest I track my life on. But then about a year ago, my family moved from a major metropolitan area to a small rural town. My job changed. My husband got promoted. My kid is getting bigger. And time started to stretch along differently. I didn't measure my time in deadlines anymore. Time passed and I didn't feel like I had wasted it by being unproductive. I consciously stopped measuring my worth by my productivity.
it turns out lightweight yarn and fussy stitches are a lot more fun if you let yourself move slowly. Turns out watching lace work up is as gratifying as finishing a chunky bralette in a day. Turns out I can make things that are genuinely beautiful.
Especially if they're Halloween themed, LOL.
I'm working on a pattern for this spiderweb kerchief headband and will need pattern testers soon! Follow me here or at my Instagram page @/creaturecomforts_shop to see more.

UPDATE for my spider web sweater
I finished the second sleeve, took a 10 day break (had a friend visiting) and I just got back to unraveling the first sleeve! I forgot to write down the exact number of chains and structure of the other one, so I'll have to do some guesswork but I'm sure it will turn out pretty much identical =) very excited to see how it all comes together in the end!
i also noticed that the sweater is kinda droopy where I sewed it on the sides; I should have probably made the spiderweb panels smaller but it's too late so I'll embrace the imperfections and try to tweak it so it's tighter.
PS: currently trying to motivate myself to stick to this so I might start posting previous projects. love yall <3
