Lovely work Irina! I particularly like the detail on the lace of Lady Winter's blouse, looking like snowflakes! Clever and eye catching! V/ Pamela

Beautiful image, Irina! It reminds me of vintage Christmas cards I've seen. A friend gave my husband and me a collection of beautifully hand- crocheted Christmas ornaments as a wedding gift. Among the ornaments was also a lovely black spider in a golden web, along with the legend you have mentioned. It has been a part of our tree decorations for 25 years now! L
