Antique Spider Design - In Its Simplest Form Pattern by Emma Farnes, in early 1900's Instructions rewritten by Sandi Marshall In the early 1900's, the basic spider design was already considered to be antique. Emma Farnes named this pattern the "Antique Spider Design - In Its Simplest Form". Sandi's added notes: This lovely antique design is basically a version of filet crochet with a wide, open lace portion in the center. Following the written out directions for the first few rows can be helpful in understanding how to crochet open mesh and solid mesh, to anyone just learning filet crochet. The chain lengths in the center may seem confusing, at first, because they may seem to "not look right" but these chain lengths are supposed to be left alone until row 6, where it all comes together.

I don't know what it is about this time of year that makes me just want to have my bare feet in the sand, be watching the sun setting into the ocean, and breathing in the warm salty air of the beach...as i get older, more and more i find myself missing that place i used to go to almost every.single.day. as a teen.

It all started with a door handle. Magda Sayeg was tired of the standard brass handle in the entrance of her Houston boutique. So she knitted it a sweater.

Dr. Knifty Knitter Chihuahua or Small Dog Sweater Instructions. This sweater is not my original creation, but I have used it to make sweaters for our daughter's Chihuahua, Bean. I found this KK Chihuahua sweater pattern on a forum for Chihuahua owners. Knifty Knitter Sweater Pattern By: Goldie I wrapped the yarn very loosely around the pegs. I actually started with the red ring (one ring up from the smallest), and it was too big. If your doggy is 4-6 lbs., the small jig with a normal weight yarn, normally wrapped, should work great. When I got the length I wanted from the bottom of the sweater to the front legs, I estimated where on the ring his legs would best fit.

So, stitched the first 2 (the right half of the center 4) normally, cast-off the next 4 stitches, re-wrapped those 4 posts (for the next time around starting stitches) and continued around till I got to the other 4 leg-hole stitches and did the same for them.
