"found everything but leg warmers"

"Loving this idea for Halloween decorating for a rustic decor home. If you have seen things like this at fancy boutiques then you know they sell for a pretty penny! Why spend your hard earned money when you can use your creative edge and bend some wire?! The beauty of it is the fact that you do not have to be perfect. The finished craft is supposed to look a little imperfect. Fun! Make a letter sign that says BOO!"

"Ideas that can be incorporated to fit into any holiday theme (like this one !) are a great craft to partake in. Here is another idea for a Halloween themed pumpkin succulent that I came up with. Instead of the solid color pumpkin how about buying a Day of the Dead or sugar skull stencil? Start with the white pumpkin and paint in the stencil in black or several different brights- like pink, green, red, purple, and yellow?"

"These coasters are beautiful. I've been fascinated with the process of crafting with resin but haven't tried it yet. What a great way to preserve and save shells or other little things that are a souvenir from a special trip or a piece of memorabilia. We even have beaded necklaces that our Gram wore in the early 1960's. This would be a neat way to repurpose the beads."

"Anybody have an idea on how I could attach some sort of handle on these jars? I just think they are adorable to take out trick-or-treating with the kids, for mom or dad to carry so THEY can collect some candy, too! Another cool thing to do with these is to first do the glow stick craft all on the inside, then cover them like a mummy. Line your walkway or driveway for a fun Halloween glow in the dark effect."

Rnd 9 is wrong it is 14 then slip 10. I have made these on 10 us dpn double yarn and it fits an adult hand. I am making a pair now for a homeless man who lives under a bridge. I increased the rib to 6 rows of red heart & chenile and 2 rows of double strand red heart for a total of 8 rib rows so it goes in his coat deeper.

OK I finished my first mitten and working on #2. Rnd 9 didnt make sense to me so I kniited 14 slipped 10 off on a spare needle or pin and knitted to the end. If you knit 24 then slip 10 you are away from where you built the gusset. Anyone else find this to be an issue??? As for size, I found that they fit a woman's hand. I could stretch them on to my hand & I have a large hand. This could be made into a fingerless mitten if bound off before decrease.
