My Halloweens

This weekend was the one holiday I actually give a damn about: Halloween. It truly is a crafter's most important day of the year.

I went to my own party as the Queen of Hearts, complete with coffee-filter cuffs and collar, card belt, felt rose in hair, and heart lips, and out to work and a bar on Halloween night as Wednesday Addams and her unborn spawn.


The Hookers of Halloween were out en mass. This was a hooker dressed up as a racecar driver.


This was a hooker dressed as a naughty housewife and another hooker dressed up like a pirate. Can you find Waldo?
There he is again!


Boone went as a SIM character. This is him being a happy SIM.


Talking about his favorite sport.


Jack and Sally Skelinton (aka. Jessica Phelan and Randy Frye)


John's friend AJ as a killer furry and John as... a thug?


I have tons more pictures, I think I'll put them on Facebook. ^_^ We had a good time.

Staghorn Scarf Pattern

Staghorn                                   The yarn you use and needle size probably doesn't make a lick of a difference. I used Vanna White's line of yarn because I loved the color, it was super soft, and cheap. It took 1 1/2 balls of yarn. I used size 10 1/2 needles (6.5 mm). Abbreviations: k: knit p: purl sl1kw: slip 1st stitch knit-wise sl1pw: slip 1st stitch purl-wise BC: place 2sts on a cable needle in the back, k2, k2 from cable needle FC: place 2sts on a cable needle in the front, k2, k2 from cable needle Cast on 30 stitches. Row 1 (WS and   all  other wrong side rows): sl1pw, k2, p2, k2, p16, k2, p2, k2, p1. Row 2: sl1kw, p2, k2, p2, k4, BC, FC, k4, p2, k2, p2, k1.  Row 4: sl1kw,  p2, k2, p2, k2, BC, k4, FC, k2, p2, k2, p2, k1. Row 6: sl1kw,  p2, k2, p2, BC, k8, FC, p2, k2,  p2...

How to waste $28 worth of yarn.

1. Don't gauge a damn thing. 2. Just wing the entire pattern like an idiot. 3. Throw it in the washer to give it a "light felt" for 5-10 minutes, but then proceed to forget about it for an hour. 4. Shrink it so it's so small nothing fits in it... >. IN OTHER NEWS. I got my first non-mom haircut ever, and my first one in 12 years! BEFORE: AFTER: I
