The Haunted Yarn Ball
Countdown to Next Pattern Reveal!
October 1 – 31, 2026
Welcome to The Haunted Yarn Ball 🎃🧶
This October, we’re hosting a month-long Haunted Yarn Ball. Think prom, but with patterns, yarn, and significantly fewer uncomfortable slow dances.
Okay. The dancing might still be awkward.
For all 31 days of October, a brand-new spooky pattern will be taking the dance floor. Every morning, yours truly will update this page with the day’s featured pattern, so there’ll always be something new lurking here waiting for you. 👻
Come back every day to see who’s arrived at the party, grab the featured pattern, and add another delightfully spooky project to your October making list.
Or, even better, sign up for the Morning Seance and I’ll send you a quick little email letting you know the newest pattern has entered the ballroom, so you don’t have to remember to check back. Consider it your daily invitation back to the party. 💌
There are 31 spooky patterns headed for the dance floor this month.
The decorations are up.
The yarn is ready.
Someone has definitely put Monster Mash on the playlist.

Behind the stitches
Meet May and Nacho.
It all started when I knit myself my first sweater… and immediately decided Nacho needed one too.
That first dog sweater was quite the crash course in turning a human sweater into something that would actually fit a dog, but somehow we made it work.
Getting stopped on walks by people asking, “Wait… are you two matching?” brings me so much joy.
