Golden Snitch Pasties

Chibi_Muse, on craftster, knows what being a true Harry Potter fan is about. Being a true Harry Potter fan involves spending two days on Golden Snitch Pasties to wear under your Gryffindor costume, in order to flash the attendees of a midnight showing on stage! I love these!  I don’t know exactly how you would work them into a Halloween costume, but hey, you’re creative, right?

New Moon + Mario Mushroom Wrist Warmers

Knitter extraordinaire Vickie Howell has designed not one but two awesomely geeky sets of wrist warmers, and both patterns are free online! This week she published the Alice Wrist Warmers pattern over at CRAFT:, inspired by the upcoming New Moon movie… these would be perfect to complete your Twilight-inspired Halloween costume in style!

And her Mario Mushroom Wrist Warmers are a favorite from last year that are just the thing to knit up as the temperature drops. This pattern is available in kids’, women’s or men’s sizes and includes a handy (and cute) charted image for creating your mushroom.
