knitty surprises are up!

...and I'm in love with this skull-y scarf! I don't think there's enough time to get it done before this Halloween, but it's definitely on my to-do list for next year.

Speaking of Halloween, I got the skirt for my pirate costume 90% finished this morning. It is really cute but shortshortshort. I'm going to have to fix the petticoat a little...it attaches at the waist and it's a little too itchy in its present state to wear all night. I'm glad I did this skirt first...I'm using the same pattern, and now I know that I'm going to have to lengthen Dorothy's a WHOLE lot to make it family- and parade-appropriate.
