Whit's Knits: Halloween Witch Doll

Halloween's got a lot going on. Trick or treating, apple bobbing, pumpkin carving, corn mazes. But the aspect that really captures my imagination is the cast of characters that accompany the holiday: ghosts and skeletons and black cats and witches and goblins...there's a whole mini series worth of them!
My number one favorite Halloween character has to be the witch. She's rich with history and lore, from witchcraft to witch trials. She's complex and powerful, working for good and evil, riding a broomstick, palling around with black cats, cackling at everybody. What's it all about? I'm not totally sure, but she's got my attention!

I had a lot of fun bringing this witch to life. She's a little roguish and a little beguiling. As long as she casts her spells elsewhere, I think we're going to have a great Halloween together!
