Wall Snake (Shallow Thoughts)

Wall Snake

When they installed the mini-split heat pump in the bedroom (and this year was the year to do it! it's been a lifesaver this month!) the installers drilled a hole in the wrong place. One of them noticed my crochet kingsnake in the living room and suggested that rather than filling the hole normally, I could crochet a snake to put in the hole. I loved the idea and told him not to fill the hole.

It took a few tries: I thought the hole was bigger than it actually was, and I didn't drag a ladder upstairs to the bedroom until after I was half done with the snake, at which point I discovered my snake was too big and I'd have to pull it apart and start over with a smaller snake. But I'm happy with the result.
