Happy (day after) Halloween! Trick-or-treaters had over 150 amigurumi to choose from last night!
Trick-or-treat was a huge success this year! I wasn’t sure it was going to happen because I was sick a few days beforehand and it was forecasted to rain all day yesterday (luckily it only sprinkled a bit during trick-or-treat hours, but it did start pouring almost as soon as we went in). One of my neighbors even came by and bought some amigurumi from me! There was also a kid dressed as a plague doctor who went home with the little plague doctor amigurumi. Definitely my favorite costume of the night.
The new things I made this week are on slide 2, and I’ll have their patterns listed at the end of the post. The rest of the patterns are linked in my post history, or you can ask for them in here and I’ll share them.
Beetlejuice was the first thing picked, followed by an axolotl, dumpster fire, Among Us, and lollipop. Spidey and Friends were a huge hit as always, but Sanrio didn’t do well this year (I can’t remember if a single one got picked, and normally they’re almost all gone). Despite everyone here loving them, only Anger and Anxiety got picked from the Inside Out characters (Sadness got picked up so many times and set down in favor of something else; there was a mom dressed up as Disgust who was really excited to see her as an amigurumi, though!). Bluey characters also did really well, and I think there was only a Bingo and Muffin by the end of the night (despite a dad trying to get his third kid to get Muffin after the other two got Bluey and Bingo; he got an axolotl instead 😂).
We seemed to have a smaller turnout than normal, which was weird because it was actually one of the warmest Halloweens we’ve had, so we have a ton of stuff leftover again. I’m planning to donate some to a charity we work with that gives Christmas gifts to seniors in assisted living facilities, and I’m probably going to send some to my cousin’s kids. I’m thinking of listing some of the others on Etsy like so many people suggested - it’ll probably be a few weeks before I get it done, but if you’re someone that would be interested, leave a comment letting me know, send me a message, or just keep checking my profile for the link to my shop.
(Also, my other Halloween posts have been stolen and reposted on here and Facebook, so this is just a reminder to everyone that if you see this elsewhere, I’m not the one who posted it - and please don’t buy from anyone on Facebook, as they’re trying to scam you. Facebook is refusing to remove the posts, but the ones on Reddit have been getting removed - thanks mods! I’m just adding this since they’ve been stealing the caption as well and might accidentally repost this warning. 🤞🏻)
