I finished my Broom Riding Cowl. I love the way it turned out. Here is the other side.

My tension and gauge are a little loose. I may try to felt it a bit, but itās superwash merino so it probably wonāt. Pattern is Broom Riding Cowl by Vanessa Ewing. Yarn is Slutty Pumpkin DK from Less Traveled Yarn and Earl Grey Beatitude from Forbidden Fibers.

This broom was a gift from my friend Iderah, but itās too small to ride. I would model but the cowl is still a little damp. I hope I enjoy wearing this cowl as much as I enjoy looking at it.
Marilee posted a spooky viewing quiz.
Questions
1. Whatās the spookiest TV show you have ever watched?
2. Have you watched the new season of Unsolved Mysteries? For that matter, did you watch any of the many, many old seasons of Unsolved Mysteries? If yes on any of that, do you find this a spooky show?
3. Do you watch any ghost hunting show? What is your opinion on these shows ā fiction, plausible, donāt know?
4. Are there any genres of horror movies you canāt/wonāt watch?
5. What kind of horror movies do you enjoy and why?
Answers
1. The spookiest TV show I have ever watched would have to be Kolchak: The Night Stalker. X Files is a close second.
2. Yes, I have watched the new season of Unsolved Mysteries and I enjoyed it. Iām not sure if Iāve watched old seasons, but I would probably like them too.
3. I loved the original Ghost Hunters series. Thatās the only ghost hunting show I can watch without bursting into laughter.
4. I will not watch slasher films. I donāt think they are scary and I find the violence gratuitous.
5. I enjoy paranormal horror films. I believe there is more to this world than we understand and I find paranormal horror fascinating and thrilling. If kids are involved in a horror story, sometimes that bothers me, like the film Sinister which is on our October watch list. It was a good film, though.
