I will get some of the yarn Wed. So who wants to join in.

 

eta: I changes the title to reflect either doing decorations and/or afghans) that way everyone can join. If they want.

I am soooo tempted. no no no I must not start anything new until I clean up the pile of projects I already have going.. noooooooooooooooooooooooo

I would like to join, but, what about a rectangle, halloween CAL ??? the stress on my hands with the small squares, would be too much

[Ga_Rebel]

Thats cool to. I think I may edit the title if I can.

Sounds great, count me in on this one. I want to make the afghan out of the book Holiday Afghans II (ghosts with bats and pumpkins). This may push me to do it.

I'll toss it around a day or so. Really sounds like fun! Maybe I'll join. Can be something quick, and I LOVE quick!

My kids are all in college. I would really like to crochet little trick or treat bags just big enough for a gift card for a restaurant or grocery store. I think it would funner than just sending it in a card. So that's my goal!

[luckybmr]

I need a quick pattern for a pumpkin - about the size of a small real one. Any ideas? I also have KristieMN's Halloween patterns so could work on those. Great idead!

I decided to join... there are a few little projects I wanted to do and this will give me a shove..PLUS... I think I do want to do the afghan...we have a huge covered porch and it will be perfect sitting out there and covering up my legs while I enjoy the autumn weather....

Ok, I wasn't gonna do this one...But....I found black yarn in my stash and ended up making, a large black cauldren and 2 smaller ones only using one strand of yarn. Then I made 3 spiders, and a spider web. I wanted to do a witch but didn't find a free pattern I liked SOOOO, I made my own and really like how it turned out. Now I will need more black yarn because I found a bat pattern I GOTTA try. And while I'm at it I'll grab some orange for some pumpkins. Then I'll be going back to working on Christmas gifts. UNLESS I find other patterns that I just have to try out that is.

If I ever figure out how to post pic's I'll show what I've been up to.

While the Ville was down and dodging hurricanes, I finished a few small pumpkins and started in on some coasters . The pattern works up so quickly....I need to try to get to town today once the hurricane heads north a bit more....

Go to freepatterns.com to look for chrochet holiday patterns, I think they have Halloween stuff. I've got a stuffed spider pattern somewhere, if you PM your snail-mail adress, I'll try to send you a copy. Good luck in your search.

Stephanie, your witch came out so cute! I love the green face.

I am working on a witch-kitchen bag holder, which is a kit from Maggie's Crochet. I will take a photo as soon as it is done. It is a quick one. I liked the idea of an afghan for Halloween, but I am already very involved in making an afghan for my son's new home. (not Halloween) So, I went for the bag holder instead. :ghost

[sunrisedq]

Stephanie, your witch is just too cute, I love it:manyheart Great job!! Is anyone making some scaracrows?? Looking for some patterns could be used as Fall decorations as well as Halloween.

[yarnlover66]

I've done these two items already. I also did a pumpkin with a handle. I need to make about 10 of the little jackolanterns with the lid for my office.

Here is a pic of a Jackolantern basket I made this weekend. It would hold about 1 cup of candy.
