New Charts

Samhain is coming....and I have a couple of charts I am giving out free until October 1st 2008, from which date they will be available as automatic downloads for approx $1 or 50p per chart or set of charts.

Tesselating Skulls
FREE until October 1st 2008
Via Ravelry

A chart of an all over pattern of repeating skulls (offset in a diagonal way like wallpaper), includes an enlarged individual chart 16 sts x 58 rows so that you can choose either the individual motif, or have a 'tile' to repeat over your garment to whatever size you like x 16sts. The overall pattern looks really good for knee highs or stockings, as the skulls coil around the legs in a diagonal line.

Dancing Skeleton with Top Hat and Flowers
FREE until October 1st 2008

He is a cheeky chappy who has escaped from dia de los Muertos (Mexican Day of the Dead) festival and is looking for a small home (17 sts x 59 rows) for his long and thin body on a scarf, a hat, or a pair of socks....in fact anywhere will do.
