Involving Praying Mantis? When I went this morning to exercise I found a Praying Mantis on the underside of my doorknob. Poor thing, I didn't have the lights on and found him by grabbing the knob. After I turned on the lights and put him outside where Praying Mantis food lives I wondered if it was a sign that I should stay inside?
After finally accepting the reality of the yarn I was spinning I decided to cast on my Fern & Flower Shawl in millspun.
First I got about 32 rows in Lorna's Shephard Sport in the Gold Hill colourway on Bryspun US 8s. Great yarn but it wasn't the visual I carried in my mind.
So....
I cast on Dream in Color Smooshy in November Muse on Bryspun US 6s. Bought, of course, atTLE More congruent with the mental image.

I remember being told that a praying mantis was a good omen. I don't have any particular story though.
You know, this is weird about the praying mantis. At work the other day, we had the largest praying mantis on our office window that I have ever seen. It actually distracted several of us throughout the day as it stayed there for several hours because finally crawling away in the late afternoon. I don't know what it means as far as superstition, but it was fascinating to watch.
