The third motif required needleweaving which was easier and faster than I expected and fun. The color matching is with N-S and E-W because one length could do two of the four legs.

There are 4 Spider Webs. I enjoy making these but I couldn’t tolerate the spokes being uneven as they had diagrammed. So, out it came. This is the same 12 x 12 space but has 9 spokes evenly distributed. Plus, I prefer the center to be an eyelet rather than crossing side to side with an extra spoke added in. It’s so much easier to keep the center centered. So, here’s my diagram.

The other odd thing is that they say go over one and under one spoke where you should under two, back over one, and under two again. Here are my Spider Webs. Very happy!

The rest of the background went along smoothly except that working on 28 count is tougher on my eyes than even 24 count. I found a tube of Autumn Seed Beads (probably 11/0; manufacturer unknown although they are marked Made in Japan). They are a lovely mix of yellow, green, and amber. The amber was perfect. I needed 37 beads and had way more than enough. They added a lovely final touch.
