My first pattern

It's fall again and it makes me happy. All the colorful leaves, the crisp morning air and the pumpkin pie! There are so many things I like to do in the fall, like: go apple picking, wear woolly sweaters, cuddle with my lover, drink hot chaï lattes, cook hearty meals and... getting ready for Halloween!
 I can't say Halloween is my favorite holiday, because I just can't put Christmas in second place... Still, I'm a huge fan of making my own costume and eating chocolate!

As a child, I loved all Halloween related activities. Every year, I helped my parents decorate the house and carve a pumpkin. My mom would make me a costume, even though I wouldn't always ask for the easiest one. We would pack little bags of candies for the trick-or-treaters and most importantly, I watched my favorite Halloween movie. And that's exactly what inspired me for my first pattern.

I designed a little doll inspired by the character of Sarah Sanderson in the movie Hocus Pocus. It's one of the three witches from Salem (the blond one actually) who are brought back to life on Halloween night. My goal is to make a doll for each sister before the end of the month. Sarah is already up on Ravelry if you want to check her out! http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sarah-6

If everything goes by as I want, Mary (the brown one) should be ready at the end of next week. Hope you have a nice long week-end with a lots of knitting ahead!
