And on the topic of Halloween, Vickie Howell's New Knits on the Block book has extremely cute knitted costume patterns for children.; ▶ Reply to This

I was wondering if any of ya'll that are cross crafters (knit & crochet), have ever seen the pattern for the Holly Afghan in the McCall's Handcrafts Afghans, vol. III. The magazine has the picture not the pattern and since the issue was from 1973 the pattern is a little hard to find (understatement). I took a picture of the afghan in the magazine to jog the memory. Hope you can help.

I was not ready to tackle anything like that at the time but now cannot find them... so would love to see things like that both for kids and adults. I remember there was a Halloween one and a fall one; ▶ Reply to This

Here are Ravelry links to the vests.
Halloween Vest: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/halloween-vest
Winter Vest: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/snowmen-and-skates-winter-vest

Anyway, these are older patterns, and Knit Picks doesn't have the rights to distribute them anymore, but here is a link to the author's blog: http://kathleen-dakotadreams.blogspot.com/

You could try contacting her and see if they are still for sale.; ▶ Reply to This

Nothing fancy, but good for hard-working everyday garments. Any suggestions? When I look at all the projects listed on Ravelry, most using bulky wt are hats and bags. Please, help.

Does anyone plan on creating more sweaters in the top down method? Does anyone know of a good book with top down sweaters...I already have the one on the Knit Pick site. Thanks!!; ▶ Reply to This
