Medusa!

Medusa stopped by the office today to do a little training development.

Oh wait, that was me!

Yes, I crocheted myself a Medusa hat. No pattern. The snakes have wire in them to make them poseable. The eyes are black beads and the tongues are red leaf-shaped beads. I used two different colorways of the new Debbie Mumm yarn from JoAnn's. While it worked fine for this project, I wouldn't recommend it at all. It's a wrapped yarn, and the base yarn is black, which doesn't work for these colors. Also, it has a tendency to bunch while you're working with it, which is a complete pain. And it doesn't feel all that nice worked up; in the skein, it's fine, but not when you're working with it or in the finished product. But, like I said, it worked just fine for this.

Amazingly enough, most people in my office got who I was right off (though several people called me "Medea" until I reminded them Medea was the one who killed her children). At the end of the day, I gave it to a coworker who had really admired it. She was thrilled and planned to scare children with it this evening.

Happy Halloween!
