Halloween Fright Night Movie Slime

This fright night slime is perfect for Halloween and you are going to love the texture of this DIY Slime. My kids loved mushing this between their fingers and feeling the popcorn crunch as they played with the DIY Slime. You could make this slime in different Halloween colors too. The popcorn not only gave it a crunch but also a wonderful smell, such a tactile batch of Slime. I have to say we all enjoyed messing with it. Because it contains food, we suggest a play and throw out policy with this batch of Homemade slime. Once the popcorn is added this is a NON Edible slime. Please make sure your child understands that.

This tutorial is easy to follow as this SLIME recipe uses the no-fail method of Elmers glue.

Ingredients:
Elmer’s Glue
Elmer’s Magical Liquid
Shaving Cream (any brand is fine)

1 Snack pack of Cobs Popcorn

1 plastic eyeball

Method:
Step 1. Pour 4 oz of the Glue into a bowl.
Step 2. Add 1/2 cup shaving cream and mix well.
Step 3. Add 1/4 cup Magical Liquid and mix immediately and well.
Step 4. Once combined, take mixture out of the bowl and knead with hands until slime is not sticky and can be played with. Step 5. Enjoy!

Stitch dictionaries are a fun way to learn new-to-you knitting stitch patterns or to take a deep dive into a particular technique. Debbie Tomkies offers 100 cable stitch designs and thoughts on how to incorporate them into projects in her Cable Knitting Stitch Dictionary.

Each stitch pattern is shown in a large swatch photo and with written and charted instructions. Any special stitches are included on the page. The stitches are rated on a difficulty scale of 1 to 3, and the pattern notes also indicate how many extra stitches you should add to a project if you’re going to work this cable (since cables pull the fabric closer together you need to compensate for that) as well as how many stitches and rows are in the repeat if you want to design a project yourself.

The cables are arranged into sections: classic cables, combinations, all-over panels, creative cables, motifs and panels and cabled edges and borders.

It’s fun to flip through the designs to think about projects you can add a single cable or two to or make with an allover cabled design. Or you could make swatches of different cables and sew them together into a pillow cover or a throw.

At the back of the book there’s a section on general cable knitting techniques, reading charts, working swatches and avoiding errors (though it mentions working the wrong number of rows between cable turns, it doesn’t share how to count rows between cables to avoid this mistake).

It also talks about how to design your own cables, combine cables in a project, choose the right yarn and needles and determine how many more stitches you need to cast on when working cables instead of stockinette stitch. There’s also a glossary of symbols and abbreviations you may find in cable knitting and other patterns.

The book provides a good overview of things you can do with cables, as well as some fun things you might not have tried like infinity cables and horizontal cables. It’s a great book for a designer who likes to work with cables or a knitter who wants to play with different stitches in their projects.

About the book: 176 pages, paperback, 100 stitch patterns. Published 2024 by David & Charles. Suggested retail price $26.99.
