Oh what a tangled web we weave....

Last night, as I was drifting off to sleep, I had an idea for a hat.  It's inspired by the Stained Glass Window afghan pattern, with the overlay crochet techniques.  I was thinking how the black looks a bit like a spider web.... and Halloween is coming up... a spider web hat would be awesome.  I knew I had to get it out of my head as quickly as possible.  So, even though I am pressing myself to stay focused on the afghans I'm working on, I had to take part of this evening to work this out before it left me.

These pictures are my "first draft."  There will be some changes, and I definitely would choose a bigger contrast in color, but I couldn't find any white yarn (aside from the white in Zoe's afghan, which I don't like making hats with) and I wasn't going to use my black, since I need a ton of it for the SGW.  I found light gray and dark gray and went with that.  It's a bit like a dusty cobweb to me. 







I am going to try to put together a pattern for it. It will be a little more complicated than normal, with the overlay stitches.  I like the 3D effect of the web, though.  I could work it into a snowflake for Christmas, also.  So be on the lookout... hopefully it won't take me too long.
