Jack O Lantern Sweater
One of the first sweaters I created for my collection was a Jack O Lantern motif. The pumpkin is turned into a Jack O Lantern using 3 buttons for the eyes and nose, and stitchery for the mouth. I have a picture of it being modelled by a Cabbage Patch Kid to the left. Pumpkin Sweater
Later on someone asked me if I could make a sweater with just the pumpkin and not the buttons - silly me for not thinking of that before! So we added the pumpkin motif sweater to the collection. Its being modelled on the left on a Cabbage Patch Kid doll. Ghost Sweater
His nickname is Jangaboo
Before I started working on sweaters, I actually created some handmade halloween decorations (see below). Some friends had helped me with naming some of the characters I had created, and the ghost bell became Jangaboo. It made sense to add a ghost motif to my collection, in honor of Jangaboo - although it does look a lot like a Pacman ghost :)
Witch Hat sweater
This one was another customer request design, for a witch's hat (the hat by itself was much easier to do than trying to create a witch's face!). Handmade Halloween Decorations
I don't just do sweaters.
As I said earlier, I started out doing decorations, and crocheted 4 different kinds of ornaments - a pumpkin, a ghost bell, a spider that hangs from the ceiling or a hook, and a black cat sitting in a pumpkin. All 4 of these items are available for purchase at my original website.The ghost is called Jangaboo, the spider is called Spookers, the black cat is called Booskers, and the pumpkin, unfortunately, was never given a name.

The History of Halloween
Did you ever wonder how Halloween came to be a holiday? Where the traditions came from? Then read on!
Halloween, or Hallowe'en, is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses", carving Jack-o'-lanterns, reading scary stories and watching horror movies. Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century. Halloween is celebrated in several countries of the Western world, most commonly in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Japan, New Zealand, and occasionally in parts of Australia. In Sweden the All Saints' official holiday takes place on the first Saturday of November.
