New at SocksAndMittens - Halloween gloves and scarflettes

It is just September but I am very excited about Halloween. We are hoping to get up north this year and have wonderful outdoor party so I might not need any special Halloween costumes to wear. I still would like to wear something special so I thought of something easy to go with a simple black dress.

In my very special cozy knitted world it's gloves and scarves, of course. They will transform your look in minutes!

We made a couple of extra pairs for our SocksAndMittens shop on Etsy - please stop by if you have the time! Black with mustard stripes or black with purple - you decide which one you like the best!

After all, each witch must have a pair like these, you know :) 

Halloween ideas from the jewelry girl

Albina (AroundBeads) is very passionate about making jewelry. I thought of her immediately when I was thinking of nice accessories to wear for a party. 

So I asked the following 3 questions:

Would you share with some easy tips for Halloween jewelry?

I believe Halloween jewelry can be simple and it does not have to be expensive. You just need to match your costume with some spooky or fun jewelry. 

 

Get a combination of skull bracelets, spider rings and earrings, and bat necklaces. You can also wear pumpkins, candy corn, skeletons, coffins, spider webs… Black and orange are the traditional colors – so use these colors too!

 

What would be fun Halloween jewelry for a child to wear?

It depends on child’s costume of course. Princess would wear a tiara, fancy pendant and earrings; pirate could wear a hoop earring (one on a clip-on will work perfect). My daughter wants to be a witch this year. I am thinking to make her a spider ring.
 

Name 3 things that you cannot imagine Halloween without?

Jack-o-lantern, trick-or-treating kids, and candies.

But wait, there is more! 

 Albina is also going to share an easy to follow tutorial for this beautiful Gothic ring! 

See my next post for the tutorial.

That's witchful thinking

Halloween is getting closer and I am already getting excited, the party spirit, you know.

I was thinking of costumes and decorations for this year and realized I can not come up with many new ideas so I contacted a couple of my friends for some new inspiration. I asked these three friends just three questions about Halloween.

Maybe some of these ideas will help you for your party. Please see my blog for the questions and responses.
