I feel like my blog is now turning into a crochet blog! I become more obsessed with crochet everyday.
Anyway, when I was a child, I crocheted a spider - I just did it as I went along (I guess that would be "freeform" crochet?). Here is a picture of it (it is over 25 years old, so it isn't in great shape!).
On Sunday I decided to see if I could still do it - so I crocheted this black spider. However, I am at a loss as to what to do with it's face. I need advice! Does anyone have any ideas? Should I do the same thing as with my old spider, with felt eyes?

Oh, cute! You made that as a kid? Very creative. Also, I like that you've learned that spiders have eight legs. (Maybe the brown one has eight and I just can't see the other five?) I think you should stay with the felt eye- theme. How great is that - to have two crochet pieces 25 yrs apart!
LOL - when I was a kid I didn't realize spiders had eight legs - so you are right, the brown one has only six!!
Here are some other postings of things I crocheted when I was a kid:

Pam!
Totally a blast! Your childhood spider is definitely a ritual piece! I think you need props as an incredibly creative (and capable) chile!!
Your new spider looks like a product for Etsy! Where's your shop at, girlfriend?? I'd suggest five or more wiggly eyes in lieu of a composite arachnid eye! I like that your blog is doing some creative things along with your left brain stuff! I'm into the same mode!
Blessings,
