Highlands Halloween with Flannery O'Kafka for Toto Knits

Glaswegian blogger/photographer/craftista Flannery O'Kafka and Kenyan fair trade purveyors Toto Knits have produced another stellar Fall must have for the well dressed child. The collaborators have come up with subtle, stylish Halloween sweaters that will last far beyond trick or treating.

The Glasgow Goblin is a charming green confection, more sweet than scary. I love the pointy ears, "teeth" and ridgeback with teensy tail.

The Skeleton Sweater is, umm, a skeleton sweater. The hood features a face only a mummy could love… or maybe Jack Skellington. If this was available in my size, I would own it already.

Both sweaters retail for $47.50 and are available in sizes 3 months- 8 years. They are hand knit to order in Toto Knits' Kenyan workshop, so jump on it if you want to order for Halloween– it takes about a week for each sweater to be made and then another two weeks to ship to the states. Shipping is free if you use the coupon code BOO!

This is Glasgow: Flannery O'Kafka for Toto Knits

A few years ago, I discovered Toto Knits' adorable sweaters and accessories handmade in a fair-trade workshop in Kenya. I love seeing kids in animal-themed sweaters, although both of my kids are sadly getting too old to tolerate me dressing them up. They'd rather be cool than cute at this point. That's why I was happy to see their new collection.

This is Glasgow: Flannery O'Kafka for Toto Knits is a gorgeous collaboration with blogger/photographer Flannery O'Kafka. It's full of sophisticated pieces in muted colors, perfect for city dwellers and moor wanderers alike– as long as they're between sizes 0-10 years. I was a bit heartbroken with that, since I would proudly wear any of these!

I am especially smitten with the Organic Cotton Knit Dress, Fingerless Gloves and Sock Cap:

 
 

And how could you possibly resist the Pull-Through Scarf, a total steal at $7?! At that price, you can afford to get it in all three colorways and not have to choose just one…

GeltFiend - Chanukah Sweaters

I am utterly charmed by GeltFiend and their mission to give Jews their own fancy holiday sweaters. The only way I could love them more is if they could possibly integrate kittens into the patterns. Just a thought.

Donate $60 or more to their Kickstarter campaign and get your own sweater by Hanukkah! Or try your luck entering What Jew Wanna Eat's GeltFiend giveaway to win one. I'm crossing my fingers and toes.
