Introduction
Welcome back to All Knots! Today, we are embarking on a Halloween hunting adventure to find the perfect items for this year's theme, Coraline. From spiders fabric to yarn bowls, we have a lot to look out for. So let's dive right in and see what spooky treasures await us!
Halloween Hunting for the Week
As we step into the yarn dungeon, the excitement for Halloween fills the air. This week, we are on a mission to find all things Coraline themed. While we don't expect to see an abundance of Coraline items, we're keeping an eye out for anything with spiders fabric or a purple and iridescent color scheme. And of course, we can't forget about the other mother's hand, which we plan to create ourselves using sewing needles.
Finding Coraline Themed Items
One of the key goals for this Halloween hunting adventure is to discover Coraline themed items. Although they may be rare, the thrill of the search keeps us going. In our journey, we stumble upon various stores that hold hidden treasures.
Looking for Yarn Bowls
As avid yarn enthusiasts, acquiring more yarn bowls is always a priority. We believe that anything can be a yarn bowl if it can hold 100 grams of yarn or more. One of our favorites from last year's haul was a jack-o'-lantern yarn holder from Target. It not only lights up with a candle but also allows us to pull the yarn through its eyes, making it the perfect functional piece. This year, we are determined to find more yarn bowls that will add character to our crafting space.
Creating a Patchwork Cardigan
Last year, we designed a cardigan with a traditional orange and black color scheme, adorned with granny squares and patches. However, the yarn used for that project has sadly been discontinued. That means it's time to create a new patchwork cardigan for this year's Halloween festivities. We have chosen a slimy green yarn and plan to incorporate solid squares bordered with black. The abundance of patches we have collected over time will add a unique touch to the final piece.
Halloween Decor Hunting
Before heading out, we browse through different stores' websites to get a glimpse of their Halloween collections. One of the first stops is Home, where we find a few promising items that caught our attention. Black succulent plants remind us of the garden in Coraline, and we contemplate pairing them with crochet dragon snappers for a whimsical touch. Another great find is a skull candle holder with drilled eyes and mouth, which offers an ideal spot for yarn to pass through. This versatile piece will be a valuable addition to our crafting area.
Shopping at Home
Continuing our search, we visit Menards in hopes of discovering enticing wax melts. Although the pumpkin and acorn combination is not available this year, we find unconventional options like moonlit gravestone, pecan brittle, and pumpkin spice. These scents will infuse our crafting space with a cozy ambiance, getting us into the Halloween spirit.
Menards Wax Melts
Menards didn't disappoint us this time with their selection of fall-themed wax melts. We excitedly try out the Moonlit Gravestone scent, expecting an eerie aroma. However, the fragrance is unexpectedly perfumey rather than what we envisioned. Nevertheless, the Pecan Brittle and Pumpkin Spice wax melts compensate for the lackluster scent with their delightful and familiar autumnal aromas.
Checking Out Joann's Fabric
Our next destination is Joann's, where we explore their fabric section. Rumors circulate that the "Witching Hour" collection is in stock, along with Nightmare Before Christmas fabrics. To our surprise, Joann's offers unique twists to familiar designs by infusing neon colors and glitches into the characters' visuals. Envisioning eye-catching pillows and playful pajamas, we eagerly select fabrics for upcoming projects. Additionally, the Hocus Pocus fabric line catches our attention, featuring the Sanderson sisters and little skulls. Envelope pillows will be a must-create item with this particular fabric.
Bath and Body Works Fall Line
Though we anticipate Bath and Body Works' Halloween line, we are still delighted to explore their fall-scented products. Marshmallow, a scent reminiscent of last year's candy corn marshmallow hand soap, catches our attention. Since our supply of this beloved scent has nearly depleted, discovering a marshmallow-scented product brings joy to our crafting journey. The fragrance is subtle yet pleasing, filling our crafting space with a hint of sugar and fall maple.
Conclusion
As our first week of Halloween decor hunting adventure comes to a close, we reflect on the treasures we have gathered. From wax melts to yarn holders, we have found unique items that will enhance our crafting experience. Our anticipation for the upcoming weeks builds as we continue our search for more Halloween delights. Stay tuned for the next chapter of our spooky journey!
