Terrorific Tuesday!!

Eye see you!!

My friend Red and I went to a Halloween Bash this past weekend. I was a crazy seamstress and she was my dolly. A crazy seamstress needs a funky way to store her pins! It's based on the eyeball with nerve endings pattern, designed by Regina Rioux Gonzalez at Monster Crochet.

It's basically done in the round, which means a continuous spiral. I used a G hook, worsted weight yarn in black, blue and white. Here are my modifications.

Rnd 1 - Start with black in the magic circle. (6)
Rnd 2 - Join blue. 2sc in each stitch around. (12)
Rnd 3 - Sc in next stitch, then 2sc in next stitch. Continue around (18)
Rnd 4 - Join white. Sc in next 2 stitches, then 2sc in next stitch. Continue around (24).
Rnd 5 - Sc in next 3 stitches, then 2sc in next stitch. Continue around (30).
Rnd 6 - Sc in next 4 stitches, then 2sc in next stitch. Continue around (36).
Rnd 7 through 13 - Sc in each stitch around.
Rnd 14 - Sc 2 stitches tog. Sc in next 4. (30)
Rnd 15 - Sc 2 stitches tog. Sc in next 3. (24)
Rnd 16 - Sc 2 stitches tog. Sc in next 2. (18)
Rnd 17 - Sc 2 stitches tog. Sc in next 1. (12)
Rnd 18 - Sc 2 stitches tog. (6)

Leave a long tail so that you can attach your elastic wrist band. I just cut a piece of elastic to fit my wrist and used a few stitches to attach the ends.

(I didn't have time to stitch on the nerve endings, so I used a red marker to draw them on)

For her hair, I cut lengths of various yarns and randomly tied them to hair elastics. I just wore a funky house dress, with a few scraps of material sewn on randomly and a really bad wig. Her apron is made from a little kids cape, with an added piece of red fleece for the strings.
