Happy Halloween! (or: All about sculls)

When it comes to yarn, there is a need to be a bit ahead of time, so that the projects get ready in time. The nice thing about it is that it prolongs the holidays. And now it’s time for Halloween!! I found these hilarious projects on Lion Brands homepage (follow the link to the right, the patterns are free if you register). The use for a felted witch hat is rather obvious, but what to do with a felted skull? I had a great discussion with K about it. We could find three reasons why sculls are so popular right now.

1. Johnny Depp

2. It’s a reflection in the time we live in

3. The awkward/ugly-pretty contrast you get if you add glitter to the sculls, which is very popular right now.

Here is what to do with a felted scull:

Crochet the scull in pastel pink and add some paillettes in gold!

or

Use fuzzy acid-green fabric and give it a Mohawk (tuppkam)!

or

Trim the bottom edge with fringe (fransar) and put it on a bedpost or hat stand!
