We were watching Mirrors last night, not a bad flick, some pretty graphic deaths but the suspense factor was much higher than the gore. There’s a scene where the mom has the daughter go hide in a closet as things are winding up and it stuck with me well after we went to bed.
Closets are big contradictions when it comes to scare factor. Most of the time, it’s what’s in the closet that we’re trying to escape. There are so many childhood rituals surrounding closets, keeping the light on inside, closing the door all the way, etc., and so why, when it all comes down to it, is that the place that we run to when we need to hide? It’s the safest place to get away from the things that are after us. Does having something out in the open negate all the freaky shit that goes on inside?

Liked Winter Veil a lot…
But the Lich King,
who lived in Northrend,
Did NOT!
The Lich King hated Winter Veil! The whole Winter Veil season!
Now, please don’t ask why. Only lore geeks know the reason.
It could be that Frostmourne had corrupted him outright.
It could be, perhaps, that he suffers from frostbite.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that Jaina broke his heart in Westfall.

This was one of those patterns that jumped out at me. I had been sitting on the yarn for some time and couldn’t decide what to do with it. The pattern was featured in Spin-Off, the Summer 08 issue along with an awesome gallery of examples in all different types of yarn.
If you don’t have access to the mag, you can get the pattern at HeartStrings Fiber Arts
The yarn itself is some hand spun that I did with some roving from Hello Yarn, which was one of my first attempts at a lace weight. It’s uneven but that’s part of the beauty of it now.
Thanks for the comments, hope this gives the rest of you some inspiration to try it with something you have lying around.
