Welcome to Wednesday! How are you all doing? Apart from @Chris Muggleton , do we have any Aussies? I was wondering. Good evening to you Chris! Looking forward to @Ruby Dack’s craft hour today as I’m not going to work. Need to raid my daughter’s room for a hot water bottle! 😆 Hope you all have a wonderful day!

What you working on?

And what brand are they?

Even Greek gods and goddesses spun and wove Precursors to knitting, spinning and weaving are mentioned throughout oral history. One of the most well known tales is that of Arachnae, a mortal woman who was very gifted in the art of weaving (or spinning, as some versions say). She foolishly challenged the jealous goddess Athena, and after they competed, Athena cursed Arachnae with melancholy. After a time, Arachnae decided that life was too much to bear – but Athena took pity on her and let her live as a spider, so as to weave the rest of her days. Arachnae is where we get the scientific term for spider, arachnid! I’m sure many or us have a fear of these creatures, which would be called arachnophobia.
