Spider Napkin Rings

It is October now and time to start thinking about decorating for Halloween, so I designed this spider napkin ring to add to my collection of decor. As if I need more!

Tea Light Flower and Flower Petal Napkin Ring

I took time out from my other crocheting project to make up these samples to show the girls I craft with. They liked them so much that they want to learn to crochet so they can make their own. Now that is rewarding!

I will have to type up the patterns for them since I 'adjusted' both of them. The Tea Light Flower is from All Free Crochet but my holder is shaped like a flower pot so I adapted that to fit. The Flower Petal Napkin Ring pattern is from craftown.com and was designed for size 10 crochet thread but I had no problem using the same yarn I had used on the candle holder it just meant fewer petals.

While these were not from the same place and actually are done differently they made a pretty good match.

A bargain price

I started a table runner using some Perle Cotton Thread and looked over to see the price tag from the thread stuck to the bottom of my dear friend's foot. He wasn't too impressed with my interest in the bottom of his foot. Does this mean he is only worth $2.49?
