Few weeks ago I was so lucky to get in touch with Morticia Addams. As you
know she's often needles and yarn in her hands so I asked her what she was doing and if she
would like share her latest scary pattern with me! ;-))
"Of course, I'd like to share with you!" she
answered.
Very, very pround Morticia showed
me what she was knitting - and I really was amazed. It was the most
scary washcloth I'd ever seen! So I asked her if I could share her
pattern with my knitting friends all over the world! She answered:
"Ok, but don't give away
the whole pattern at once and send it to your friends as a lovely,
frightening gift for Halloween from me! Do tell them by and by about this wonderful,
scary pattern! You must only tell them that I'm knitting a
washcloth for Gomez. And when I've finished the one for Gomez, I'll knit another
cloth for Lurch to use in the
kitchen (a dishcloth I suppose) and one for our bread basket! All
three cloths from the same pattern, but with very small differences!"
