Ghost Swap goodness!

Another fabulous Ravelry swap has ended. The Ghost Stories swap. Here are the goodies I received from the wonderful Megdoula!

First of all, I received this very cool Photo box with spider webs on it. Do I need a photo box, heck yes! Also SweeTarts and yummy Choc. Raspberry Dove.. oh my, so decadent!

There was a Harry Potter card with a lovely note as well.

And, why was Rebel so interested in this box? He got some yummy treats and this oh, so, cute Halloween collar with little bats on it!

The dishcloth with the bat, is sort of a request. I wished that each of my spoilers would send me one dishcloth so that I could make a swap afghan. This is the second 5th one I have received!

She also send this BEAUTIFUL yarn! Wow, it is prettier in person. Awesome Spoonflower fabric swatch with vampires on it for my Halloween quilt, cute ceramic ghost, and handmade Halloween bottle cap magnets. So clever.

And last but not least, actually my favorite thing, a needle felted necklace of

Zero, the ghost dog from the Nightmare Before Christmas! I love it soooo much! I don't know

 how she did such small detail.. it is great

Thanks again Megdoula!

Watch here for Dr Seuss

I am in a Dr. Seuss swap at the moment. I have created 3 patterns. I can't show them yet, but when I can, I am going to be selling them for $2 each or all for $5. They are super cute, especially if you like Dr. Seuss!

Spider panel

This is a pattern I found on Ravelry. It is supposed to be a purse, but, I think it will be a pillow, as I have 4 Halloween purses. Isn't it great? It is based on a Barbara Walker pattern in her book 3, Third Treasury of Knitting Patterns. It is large enough for a small pillow. Love..

FRAMED!

I had a great idea this morning. I put up one of those 'command' hangers, painted it black, hung an old frame I had painted black on it, and tied my dear spider to the hanger. I love how she looks. 3D hanging out of the frame!

Halloween Spider.. done!

Here she is... isn't she lovely!.. and spooky!

She is a pattern by Hansi Singh (sp). I LOVE  how she turned out.

I did the pattern on her back free hand in duplicate stitch. The original pattern calls for just

making stripes, but I didn't want that.

Halloween Spider

I started working on my huge Halloween spider on Friday. I finished most of the legs that day. Saturday, I started the body. Finished the knitting of the body last night, and then did the duplicate stitch on it to make it look like a marbled orb weaver. I had planned a pattern, but the stitches are not in rows, per se, so that plan went out the windos. I just sort of free handed it. It came out very nice! I think this spider will be a very pretty one. I finished the fangs, and started knitting it together, well, I messed up and got off course, so I ripped it out and started again. That is where I am now.. knitting the fangs and legs together to make the head.
