You might as well choose someone associated with lacemaking and call them a

Knitters have three goodesses: Mary Thomas, Elizabeth
Zimmerman, and Barbara Walker.
Barbara Walker introduced her "The Spider" design
Drat. Another good post ruined by a little research.
I thought that she'd called Arachne a goddess of
knitting, but when I looked up the exact quote, it was
"the great-grandmother of all the world's spinners and
weavers".
I made two splendid aran sweaters featuring that
design. One could work it up in fingering yarn and
put knitted lace around the bottom to make a list-
appropriate sweater.
