More Halloween Gear

I was so inspired by all the other Yorick scarves I'd seen on the internet that I just had to go and make my own. It took about 2.5 days to make. I felted this in my sink rather than in the washing machine and I think the results were quite nice. I need to trim poor yorick's eyes a bit but he's otherwise ready for Halloween.

The bag is a little something I made for my mother and sister. The pattern is from Lion Brand website and the orange and green parts are white wool dyed with koolaid. I wish I could wear skulls and pumpkins all year long.

Poor Duke, how we impugn your manliness with such items.

Here is my brother's bloodhound modeling the lion mane I made him for Halloween. I'm still waiting on my brother to send a clearer shot that shows the mane, the outfit, and the pompom tail that attaches to the dog's real tail.

I winged the outfit he wears but the headpiece is based on the "Coif" hat on Knitty. I added loops as often as I felt the need and then knitted some ears to sew onto it. The whole getup is made from Caron Perfect Match in yellow and brown.

Let us hope that Duke doesn't get laughed off the block by the other dogs come Halloween.

What a fine day to test out my latest shrug. It is nice and cool 75 degrees outside and could almost pass for fall in Texas. This time the neckline has been made to accommidate the large pumpkin I've got on top of my shoulders. This one was done in PoA styled Slytherin colors, to reflect me and my black heart.

It has been awhile since I had a finished object but to be fair I have 6 projects on the needles not including the 2 I just finished. I also have a number of projects planned for the yarn still left in my stash. The shrug is made from a clearance sale yarn that I got at Michael's about a year ago. It is a green acrylic with silver sparkles in it and I think it might be Caron brand. It's color appeals to the inner Slytherin in me. I based the pattern from a "devlish shrug" on Craftster. Minus the hood and horns though. Next time I'll either have to make the neckhole bigger or make it with a hook or snap closing in the front to accomadate my gigantic sized head.

I made this particular scarf from LB Homespun and Schachenmayr Nomotta "Brazilia Lame" yarn for trim. It was really easy to make but it seemed endless at times. This makes 2 more skeins finished from my yarn stash. The pattern is from
