Halloween is THURSDAY! Are you ready?

Halloween is coming up in just a few days. If you still need something quick for yourself or the kiddos, try these ideas! Some are knit, some are crocheted, and they should all take less than one ball of yarn. You could even use scraps! Click the photo to go to the pattern page.

This first one has several options in one pattern, Instant Halloween Costumes by Sarah Nicole - mouse ears, cat ears, bunny ears, and even an arrow-through-the-head - all crocheted onto a headband:

   

Here are some more crocheted quick costumes - Pirate Patch by Valerie Whitten, Devil Horns by Kala Hotakainen, Slit-Throat Choker by arrmatieCostume Masks and Bracelet Cuffs by Elisabeth Spivey

Like our other costumes, this will work well with scraps, or use an easily washable yarn like Plymouth Encore!

The Tip Jar

If your hands are feeling a bit rough and catching on your yarn, give them a quick rubdown with this easy sugar scrub: pour about a half teaspoon of sugar in your hand, add just enough oil to moisten (we prefer olive or almond oil), then scrub all over the rough parts of your hands. Rinse off with warm water and your hands will be delightfully soft. (ps - you can use it on your feet and elbows, too)
