Halloween Two-Stepping while I knit ...

Just finished some socks for the occasion!
Finished just in time for my October socks to go dancing in the streets of Salem on Halloween night.


Perfect for the Halloween celebration don't you think? The yarn is from Brooklyn Handspun and the colorway is Spook. A special colorway for the Holiday Sock Club. And the sock pattern is Charade by Sandra Park.

Knitted Things by Karla Kuskin

There was a witch who knitted things:

Elephants and playground swings.

She knitted rain,

She knitted night,

But nothing really came out right.

The elephants had just one tusk

And night looked more

Like dawn or dusk.

The rain was snow

And when she tried

To knit an egg

It came out fried.

She knitted birds

With buttonholes

And twenty rubber butter rolls.

She knitted blue angora trees.

She purl stitched countless purple fleas.

She knitted a palace in need of a darn.

She knitted a battle and ran out of yarn.

She drew out a strand

Of her gleaming, green hair

And knitted a lawn

Till she just wasn't there.

And notice some of the witch's hair got knit into these socks ...

Happy Halloween Everyone!
