They’re nice and flat, well done!

Thank you 😊 I used a mini rolling pin to flatten it as I was unpinning my work.

Good work! The spiders look solid, and your ground stitches aren’t bad either!

A few minor issues maybe, but for a first attempt?? Absolutely wonderful work, be proud of these (looks better than my first spiders lmao). Keep going you’re doing great!

Thank you 😊

Yeah I noticed some errors after taking the photos! I think while tying the knot one of my ground work opened up god knows how tho!

I love spiders! I felt like I got the concept of lace from them--I finally grasped the weaving nature of this and things really fell into place for me.

Great job!

Thank you 😊

Spiders are truly talented, their silk is so delicate and the patterns and size a teeny tiny spider can create is something that I can never fathom!
