If you're like me, you were getting mighty impatient waiting for Kollage to have their square needles available again. But I guess that's what happens when a company moves their production facility from overseas back to the US- it takes time to retool a factory and make sure that the product is just so before releasing it. I now have Kollage's needles back in stock, so take a look!
Want a chance at winning a set of 6" US 1 double points? Six lucky winners will be chosen from the comments below. Simply tell me about your favorite halloween decorations. Or, heck, tell me about your least favorite decoration- the kind that your neighbor puts up and you want to egg by the time the season is over. Leave me a comment below by mid day on Friday, October 12 and you could be one of SIX winners!
If you're thinking of shopping in person this weekend, I highly recommend it as an amazing array of Madelinetosh is in stock. I have the Merino Light and Tosh DK up on the website now, and Pashmina and Tosh Sock hopefully up by tomorrow. There are restocks of your faves like Tart, Calligraphy and Mansfield Garden Party, and new colors like Stephen Loves Tosh, Wilted Rose and Steamer Trunk. And if you can't make it to the store in person, I've post a short video of it on the SSYC Facebook page.... and that's just half of it!
Also check out the restocks and new colors of Malabrigo Sock and (sport weight) Arroyo. These colors are so wonderful that we're considering a Malabrigo KAL for the near future.
It's pumpkins of course. Once we lined the whole sidewalk with pumpkins. Gotta move them fast after Halloween and the nights are frosty and the pumpkins start to melt...

Our favorite is a cat made of lights for the window -- it has red eyes!

Ooh, thanks for having this great giveaway! We don't bother with Halloween decorations, although sometimes we do carve pumpkins. Last year we carved foam ones so we could put them out every year. I recently saw this crocheted cobweb (http://pinterest.com/pin/69454019223370228/) and thought it was a pretty awesome decoration. Now, if only I could crochet...

I really dislike the stuff that hangs from my neighbor's tree that is like spider webs. Walking anywhere near that gives me the creeps! actually, I guess that's why it's there this time of year!

I love ALL Halloween decorations, but the best ones are the homemade ones - or the super scary ones. :)

A large cardboard pop-up "haunted house" that just about covers a round table in front of a window. It looks like a House of Seven Gables and has orange pumpkins lights or ghosts in the windows. My mother mailed it to me many years ago when I was living far away and it brings back many happy memories when I get it out every year. It folds flat so its easy to store. I would like to try square needles.

My favorite Halloween decor is a witch flying into a tree. She's wearing orange and black striped stockings, black curly, pointy toed boots with heels. Picture a hat and cape hanging on a tree. Out from under the cape are the arms and legs horizontal on the tree, as if she just hit it! And the broom is now on the ground in front of her. On Halloween night,I hear the parents chuckling when they notice the witch and get lots of great comments on it. :-)

I have always loved gourds. I like the variety of them- the colors, sizes, textures.
