Posted by Allison | Sep 29, 2017 | Design/Patterns | 0

I knit all year 'round but consider this week the official start to knitting and crochet season. I love seeing all the fall projects that pop up. Pumpkins, spiders, and clowns are everywhere! There are several Halloween inspired free crochet projects collected on Confessions of Crafty Witches facebook page (and some yummy recipes too) to get you started. They feature a raven, shrunken heads and a Chucky doll! Here are some fun pattern finds where you can use your favorite Plymouth Yarns! How adorable is this Candy Corn Hat?

We have just about a month here until the kiddos are back in school. We’ve even had a couple of cool evenings. EEK! I’m not ready for summer to be over yet, it feels like it just began!

We are only 22 weeks away from Christmas and 20 weeks until Hanukkah begins. I am guilty of not starting projects until October and staying up until the wee hours of the morning in the days before the holiday. I’m even guilty of knitting under my desk at work (don’t tell the boss). One thing I do now is plan….my brother always wants an Alpaca scarf, my niece always wants cowls. my sister, whom I love dearly, is my challenge. I think she does it on purpose.
