Prompt: 12 weeks of winter: zombie
Team: So Corn-fused
Project Name: Neck warmer from old hat
Brief Description: my step son had a planned school trip and needed something warm to keep his throat warm, so I made him one by ripping up the old hat, which took more time than I thought as it’s factory made and I didn’t want to ruin it too much, of course I ended up cutting those parts off in the end anyway…

@storerboughtcreation the tie Bat and frog, adorable, especially the frog. I do agree, a tooth fairy pocket is perfect

@Bunny1kenobi so many wonderful projects, love the skeleton heart hand and the chest, and the embroidery bat is amazing. The eye, omg it’s so cool, love the eyelashes, same with the felt ghost and bookmark. Of course the piece of resistance is the ghostly carousel, amazing work, lucky swap partner

@megwell cute zap project :smile:

I made these other two scarves as a test as well. They haven’t been released quite yet, but they should be soon.

Prompt: October - Spoopy
Team: Don’t Stop Beleafing
Project Name: Blue Scarf
Project Link:
Brief Description: I did not enjoy making this scarf and I didn’t like how it looked, so I cheated a little. I only crocheted half of the scarf, positioned it, took a photo, then mirrored the image back to make it look like a completed scarf. I then frogged the project to use the yarn for something else. I feel bad, but I really didn’t like it. Everyone has different aesthetics though, so I’m sure others will love this scarf

Most of these are super cute. The moth nearly had my phone flying across the room, it scared me so much. Mr SBC laughed at me and scrolled past for me. It’s realistic looking for sure!

I think the kitty in the stocking is my favorite. I want to boop that nose :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Thank you for the kindness! And oh no! I didn’t think about the bug thing! I hid that one under a cut now. :slight_smile:

Thanks for that. My phobia is a bit out of control. :grimacing:

Mr SBC is wearing his bat tie to work today. Here’s a few shots of him wearing it!

@LovelyMiss I was wondering what you two were talking about. Makes since that you hid it now.

@storerboughtcreation Mr SBC looks very happy and festive today. I am sure he will be a hit where ever he goes!
