Master Knitter

By Lynn Weishaar

Spiders! Some people are afraid of them and well some are not. To some they are creepy crawly and just plain NOPE and to others they are beautiful. Though, no matter what one thinks of them they are beneficial. Many build intricate webs, like a master architect to catch crop eating insects, though they don't discriminate if a beneficial insect gets caught in their trap. I always love watching a spider build a web, it's amazing how they move, like a master sculptor creating a work of art. Some spiders only patch their torn webs, while other carefully remove what's left and start all over with a blank canvas. The fact is grandma couldn't beat a spider at a knitting contest, because they are truly master knitters.
