They told you to stay out of the woods, about what happened to Hansel & Gretel, but did you listen? You caught a whiff of vanilla on your walk and veered off the path. The witch was dead and gone, what’s the worst that could happen? A break in the trees reveals a cottage that looks too sweet to be true. How could it possibly still be standing? The frosting round the door calls to you and you can’t help but swipe a finger along for a taste. The door flies open and inside, a fire? No, an oven. You find yourself being pulled through the doorframe. And the last thing you hear before the roar of the fire consumes you is a wicked cackle and the door slamming behind you.

Sometimes sweets aren’t all they seem to be…

Yarn: 231 yards of a DK weight yarn in 2 colors. Approx. one 100g skein of each. (MC & CC) Samples used 2 skeins of Bewitched Pigments Charmed base in Mooncakes & Truly Scrumptious (S)
and Feline Familiar & Autumn Glow (L). You want to look for colors that have a good contrast. If you are using a variegated yarn as one of your colors, make sure that your contrasting color doesn’t blend too much with your variegated color.
