  4. would love to win this bundle because I need all the help I can get when it comes to my photographs!

  5. I love photoshop Elements and my old computer was very, very slow handling the program so I bought a new computer and my version of elements is not compatible with windows 7. I would really like the newest version.

  6. I would love to win the photoshop package! I have been taking photos for some charity events lately and would like to create a beautifully edited scrapbook (compliments of craft gossip and adobe) I also takes lots of family photos!

  8. I’ve been slowly trying to teach myself Photoshop using the free downloaded bits…would love to have the whole thing!

  9. I would love to win this. I am very new to scrapbooking and am also retired and living on a fixed income and cannot afford to purchase photoshop.

  10. Ihope I will the winner this time. My sons leave for college in about two weeks and I am going to edit our family pictures etc. Would love to have the help of photoshop!

  11. I would absolutely love my life if I could manipulate the photos on the screen the way I see them in my head. Seriously, I know I could make some amazing images and projects with this bundle. The reason I should win is because I appreciate what you do and I’m always sharing the word about craftgossip. It truly is amazing to open an email and have all the crafting inspiration I need at my finger tips.

    Thank you for this opportunity.

  12. I do not take many pictures, because I really don’t know what to do to make them more useful. This would help. Joan

  13. I would love to win. I am an avid digital scrapbooker and my free copy from college was lost when my computer got a virus. I’m also getting married and a new elementary art teacher. I would love this to help design my wedding suite and can’t afford to buy it on my tiny salary.

  14. I keep hearing how great PhotoShop software is but am stuck with the dinky program that came with my computer, and family and friends tell me its almost useless.
    Thanks for considering me as the winner.

  16. This sounds like a great workshop/session. Wish it was online/virtual so I could attend. Sounds like it would be very useful.

  17. I have been an avid photographer since I was a little kid. I’m now 45, disabled with MS, and use photography as a way to express myself and do cool things for my family (in my quilting, as gifts, special picture sessions, etc.)–I’m the “go-to gal” behind the lens. I have a copy of Photoshop–that’s about 20 years old (yes, it’s close to being an original). I don’t travel much–so the seminar is out of the question, but a brand-spankin’ new copy of PS would be FAB-U-LOUS!!!!! (Not to mention–I absolutely love CRAFTGOSSIP! What a wonderful thing to see in my Inbox!!!!

  19. I have a much older version of PE…would love the latest bundle with all the bells and whistles. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

  20. Would love to win this. I’ve always wanted Photoshop, but can’t afford it. I have to use free software out there and it’s just not the same!

  21. I’m a grandmother of seven of the most beautiful grandchildren you have ever seen, with lots of pictures. I need a brag book that will make my friends drool over.

  22. I would love to win this! I am really getting into photography, and feel I could take it that much farther if I had Adobe Photoshop. I have been using the free downloads, teaching myself how to do it, but to have the entire program without worrying it was going to expire would be so wonderful! I love nature, old things, and things that occur when Mother Nature works her magic, and am always getting weird looks when I take pictures of things most people just walk by every day. I want to help people see the beauty of things right in front of their eyes. Thank you!

  25. I would love to win this Phoshop by Adobe! My pictures would turn out so much better.

  26. I like to scrapbook and would love to win Photoshop to help with the pictures.

Small Halloween Knitting Patterns

If you’re looking for cute and quick Halloween knitting patterns, you’ve come to the right place. This collection of small patterns is perfect for last minute decor or when you want to make a bunch of the same thing, or you’re just looking for some quick gratification. 

These little treat bags from Dolly Time are so cute, and the little appliques of a pumpkin, cat, witch and owl could also be used on other projects. They call for DK weight yarn to make 5 by 4.5 inch/13 by 11 cm bags; use thicker yarn to make bags that are a little bigger if you want. All the knitting is done flat. 

This Halloween collection from Milla Mia (available as a free download on Ravelry) includes a cute knit bat (shown here) and spider, as well as candle wrappers featuring bats, cats and spiders. They all use DK weight yarn. To make the bat you’ll need a tennis ball or a foam ball to make the body. 

Another creepy cute free download from Ravelry is this knit eyeball pattern from Mary Jane Mucklestone. These would be fun to make into backpack charms or earrings, or to hide around the house as a funny Halloween prank. I’m sure you can come up with lots of other ways to use them, too. The ones shown were worked with fingering weight yarn, but again you can change up the yarn to make them bigger. How about a blanket yarn eye shaped pillow?

The Halloween hangers from Lorraine Pistorio are just cute. These designs are worked in DK weight yarn and include a ghost, candy corn, pumpkin, Frankenstein’s monster and witch, all with cute little faces. They are worked in the round and considered intermediate patterns. You can find them on Ravelry.

Speaking of backpack charms, Gathered has a set of four little Halloween charms that are perfect for backpacks, keyrings, or to make into a garland. The free pattern includes a bat, cat, Frankenstein’s monster and witch’s hat. They use DK weight yarn. 

Ruby and the Foxes has a few Halloween themed bunting patterns that would also be cute to stitch on washcloths or other projects. The graveyard set is shown here, but there are also black cats and other images to choose from. The patterns use DK weight yarn and include tips on how to make the project into a bunting. 

If you want to knit actual washcloths for Halloween, I like this pumpkin shaped one that’s a free pattern from Colour it Green. The original uses DK yarn but worsted weight cotton is easier to find and will just make it a little bigger.
