SPOOKILY GOOD CROCHET

Not only has Ashleigh Kiser come up with a cute concept

for Halloween candy carriers, she’s got practical with the

design and sizing. She admits her family aren’t big on

super-scary, blood-drenched, cobweb-draped trick-or-

treat costuming, so she’s opted for adorable instead,

while still keeping in the spirit of things. Plus, she’s varied

the sizes to suit the child’s age and degree of gluttony!

We’ll let Ashleigh explain her MO:

Pumpkin bag: “A bit larger, this guy is made for the big

kids – those who gather enough candy to get them

through to Christmas ... or at least Tuesday.”

Frankenstein bag: “This bag is a bit smaller, for little

hands or those who don’t want our young’uns collecting

enough candy to feed a small country. The sizing is

modelled after the traditional jack-o’-lantern candy

bucket – not too big but not too small.”

Another cute idea!
