The fiber: FatCatKnits Vampire Suicide, superwash BFL, 8oz (but I only needed one braid, second one will be for next year)
The yarn: chain plied, two small skeins, because I knew I wanted to do either socks or mittens with it
The mittens:
pattern: Love in the time of Camelot by Stephania Fregosi (love this pattern)
And there was also some FatCatKnits Frankenstein fiber: 4oz Polwarth
(sorry about the bad fiber photo)
the yarn: chain plied:
the hat: pretty on both sides, this is right side out
inside out: has more texture
It's no secret that I like slouchy hats.
pattern: Graham by Jennifer Adams, I LOVE this hat. In fact I've knit a second one right away, but with commercial yarn, and not for myself. I will knit this one again, and again. It's a great fit, and can be knit in one day.
Well, that's all the Halloweeny we'll get around here. We don't need costumes, or mask, we are scary every day. Aren't we? :o)
Happy Halloween everybody!

Wow! I didn't much care for the Frankenstein fiber until I saw your yarn and hat made with it. It's lovely!
Was für wundervolle Farben: grün und lila
What wonderful colours: green und violet.

I love the two different colorways. Your Frankenstein Hat is marvelous. I downloaded the pattern and as soon as I am done with the big rib thank you hat from the Purl Bee, I'm casting on for this one!
Happy Halloween!

Love, love, love those mittens!
Wow!
Happy Halloween. We don't do too much Halloweening, either. Milo does love to greet the kiddies at the door, then runs and hides. Love the hat and mittens, as always.
I am still in love with your handspun. Is stalking allowed on Halloween? Have a good day.
Love your mitts!
Love the mittens and the hat....gorgeous

I love the mittens. Happy Halloween!
gorgeous! those mittens are a work of art and I love the colour of frankenstein, beautiful work as usual! XXX
I can't decide which I like better!
wow, love the mittens. Colors, yarn, pattern, all is great!
I'm with Susan - I didn't know what you could possibly do with those colours, and the mitts are beautiful. You are genius. And the dogs are so sweet.
I love seeing your handspun become hats and mitts. It's very inspirational. Maybe I should pull out a handspun skein or two, since I hang onto them like pets. :)
Love how both turned out! The hat is very nifty though, going to have to go get that pattern.
Happy Hallo-woof-een!! Wonderfully coloured mittens!!
