Greetings, dears! October is only a few weeks away and Halloween, for me, always marks the start of the holiday season. So, I thought I’d celebrate a little early and give away 1 copy of AntiCraft: Knitting, Beading and Stitching for the Slightly Sinister. Not only does this book contain the original publication of my Brier Rose Scarflette pattern, but a TON of other cool and creepy projects.
Here’s what you do: from now through Monday, September 21st midnight PT, leave a comment in this post describing 1 of the following:
- Your favorite Halloween costume that you have ever worn (and if you made it!)
- Your Halloween costume for this year (And, of course, if you plan to make it)
- Your favorite spooky story or book. (Ok, you don’t have to tell me the whole story, just the name and general plotline!)
A winner will be randomly picked and announced Tuesday, September 22nd.
Update:
You know, it just occurred to me that I should have posted a photo of one of my favorite Halloween costumes when I originally wrote this – ha! I just so happen to have one:
That’s me in the angel costume. My dad made the halo and wings (you can’t really see it but both are sparkly with gold glitter) and my mom made the dress. My parents did not like putting me in store bought costumes and made ours (mine and my brother’s) whenever they got the chance. I’m not sure I knew then how lucky I was to get such nice, homemade things but I certainly am now. (Next to me is a friend as a Barbie bride; I think I was jealous of her costume.)
Good luck!
