Description from Kimberlywilliams60: I don't live too far from Tarrytown NY ....for me halloween was always mingled with the legend of sleepy hollow ....the local church even told the story at the anual halloween party ....this pick is about memories for me ....the crisp air , the shimmering of the moon through the naked branches , the smell of a smoldering jack o lantern lid mixed with mulled cidar , powdered donuts and smashed leaves....it was the best night of the year :)

BevB says:This is a great depiction of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Thanks for sharing your memories, Kimberly! Someday we will get to Tarrytown in October. My daughter, Kitty, wanted to go up there this month. I am high risk and don’t feel comfortable going on a train at this time.

dolllady aka Pam says:Kimberly this is a wonderful depiction for the Headless Horseman. I had a question for you. How long did you make the strands in your lariat necklace? I’m making one for my neighbor girl who is a college freshman.

Kimberlywilliams60 says:Bev , I completely understand ….I do pray next year things will look and feel somewhat “normal”again , Thank you ladies for taking my trip down memory lane with me
…..Pam , I used three different lengths on that lariat and I was trying it on as I went…..I measured it for you….the shortest is around 35 inches from where it attached to the ring then the next is at around 38 and the next is around 41 ….I know it’s a strange way of making one I suppose but I wanted it to be able to be worn like a necklace hanging straight down or like a scarf with the ring off to the side ….hope that helps a little ….I keep meaning to make another one it was really fun making that

Kathryn R says:Kimberly, I remember the Disney movie when I was young – how it scared the bejesus out of me! Poor Ichabod! We read Hawthorn in American Lit. and this story was a favorite. You truly brought it visually. I’ve got to go check out your Lariat!
