Fright Nights - 13 days till Halloween
I just love autumn and Halloween! I enjoy the colours of autumn immensely, the different shades of brown, ochre, red and orange! It might have something to do with the fact that I was born in October :-)! I also love Halloween. Sitting next to the wood stove, rain slashing against the windows, the howling in the chimney, a hot cacao, an interesting knit and watching a not too scary movie!
This year’s inspiration are horror movies. As a child/teenager I didn’t like to watch horror movies at all! I was much too scared. Nowadays, I have come to learn to enjoy a good scary movie, although I still have lots of jump scares!
What is a Halloween Yarn Calendar?
It's a calendar to countdown the days until Halloween. It starts on the 19th of October until the 31st of October (All Hallows' Eve). There will be an individually wrapped package every day containing some yarny gorgeousness, 13 days in a row, in the form of a beautiful hand dyed (mini-)skein, some sweets, a small gift, all exclusively dyed, designed and made for this calendar
Come on and join in all the fun!

The pictures are of course an indication, the real magic often happens while dyeing. I use these colour schemes for inspiration and this is very subjective and also a matter of taste. My interpretation might be completely different from your ideas or opinions. Buying a 'mystery' kit is always a risk.
