2013 Witch Knit

We had our annual "Witch Knit" last night.  What a fun time!  The costumes were very funny, and even those who did not wear witch's garb, cast their spell for a fabulous evening.

Emery was a "candy corn" witch. She tied for first place in the costume contest.

My adopted grand-daughter, Sierra was quite styling with her beautiful red hair and these crazy striped socks.

My Mom, like always, was the elegant witch.

. . . and my Sister looked quite beautiful with purple hair! She was tied with Emery for the best witch costume.

Holly was the only witch to show up on a "Swiffer". She is such a modern-day witch . . . I mean, really, who uses a broom anymore? She was the second place winner of the costume contest. The "sexy witch". Every party needs one!

Marlene was the "Federal Worker" witch, who was out on furlough. Check out her sign. It says "The Witch is In", but it could quickly be turned to say, "The Witch is Out". I hope all of those poor Federal Workers can return to work and a paycheck soon.

Tiffany was a Harry Potter type "Magical Witch". Much too pretty to be categorized with the rest of us. She was the third place winner of the costume contest. Too bad there were only three prizes.

Laura and Hayden were my favorite little witches. Hayden's Father said her hair bow looked like a satelite dish, but I think it just made her even more darling!

Here we have three generations of witches.  Ilene joins the group.  It was so fun to have Laura's Mom there.  She crochets such beautiful things.

These glasses I'm wearing, although quite stylish, were giving me a headache!  Like always, I was too wrapped up in taking photos and getting the food ready, to remember to take some pictures of the food.  We had yummy Navajo Tacos (see the recipes on the tab above), Eyeball Punch (made by Emery), Cupcakes (made by Joan), and Doughnuts (provided by Carolyn). The food was great.  We did a lot of laughing, and even some knitting.  Everyone brought projects to work on.  Holly is making these fabulous bracelets out of old baseballs.  It was so fun to see how she puts them together.  I should have taken some pictures, but perhaps I'll have to post that next month.  Thanks to everyone who attended, and made the night a great success!  We missed those few of you who could not come, and we look forward to seeing you in November.  Happy Knitting . . . . .
