In the same vein as Andrew‘s “Dead Steve Irwin” costume from last year, check out these ideas for offensive Halloween costumes as provided by AskMeFi. (Warning! They really are offensive! Don’t say I didn’t warn you!) I am ashamed to admit that I chuckled at many of these.

Yarn with EYEBALLS
Yarn… with EYEBALLS. That is no doubt the coolest, creepiest knitting yarn I’ve ever seen. I’m getting in the Halloween mood! (Link courtesy of Jen.)
Baby Yoda Hat
Funniest. Knitting Project. Ever.
As part of our barter arrangement for the Baker’s Edge pan, I’m knitting a Yoda Halloween costume for Kristen‘s son Alexander. I found a great pattern for a felted Yoda hat along with a crossover Yoda sweater. I finished knitting the hat last week, so it was finally time to felt the sucker. I was a bit nervous… but it worked! Check out the before and after:
How cool is that? I blew up a balloon to the size of Alexander’s head, and that’s what the hat is blocking on in the second picture. Now I just need to get some fabric stiffener so I can make the ears stick out properly. And the jumper’s all knitted; all I have to do is sew it up. I can’t wait to see what it looks like on him!
Witches’ Jars
Another possible Halloween decorating idea: Witches’ Jars. Creepy!
