working on Clue #2 here they are in all their droopy glory..LOL of course they don't look like much at this stage.. but at least you can see the colors and that I have been making progress.
Close up of the patterns... as you can see the mauve is a little thicker and thus the fabric is denser while the blue is more open.
A shot into the "center" of the shawl... at this point they look like drawstring purses... hmmm not a bad idea for making some....
In case anyone is wondering..The mauve is being worked with size 8 needles and the blue on size 6. Tthe pattern is 12 stitches wide so there is a stitch marker every 12 stitches.. makes easier to tell if I've made a mistake... if i have less than or more than 12 in each pattern repeat then I know that a mistake has been made and only have to deal with that ONE pattern repeat....Chenille makes a wonderful looking/feeling finished project... but can be murder trying to see stitch details and where one made a mistake...

The blue looks scrumptious!
Hi Twigs--
the pattern for the Black Widow Spider King center is basically the center for the Spider Queen, which you can purchase from Blackberry Ridge. http://www.blackberry-ridge.com/spdrquen.htm
However, if you read the earlier entries, you'll see that I modified the center slightly and have abandoned the remainder of the shawl in favor of my own designs.
You can see a graph of the new Bouncing Spiders inner border in an earlier post. I haven't worked out the entire the outer border yet. Or knitted it, for that matter.
I have, however, graphed most of it. It isn't posted yet, and I won't post it until it is finished.
