Please excuse the poor quality photo, I finished weaving in the ends JUST as our annual Spooktacular movie marathon was kicking off so it was heckin' dark and spooky in our living room πŸ˜‚

Spiderweb top as per the tutorial here: https://youtu.be/VtQjWlf8NKA

Random black fingering weight yarn I had lying around πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Tbh the pattern is not amazingly well-designed, there are weird gaps under the arms and it assumes your body has certain proportions that mine does not (it's very tight around my hips, and fixing that the way the video suggests would result in the neck being way too big).

But it's also a very quick, very simple bit of fun, and I'll probably spruce it up a bit with some fixes for next year so I can wear it outside the house!

That is delightful! How long did it take?

Honestly hard to say as I've just been picking it up and doing a few chains whenever I had half an hour spare for the last few weeks. But maybe about 8 hours in total, given my habit of doing it while watching football and losing count and having to do bits over again πŸ˜
