I bought this pattern a little while ago, but haven't gotten around to doing it. I have way too many things going on right now, otherwise I'd join in (I'm hopefully going to start on a comfortghan for my hometown. They just had a flood on labor day and it's now considered a disaster area by the state, so I want to do something for them).

I found some halloween dishtowels at the dollar tree i'm going to start crocheting them

Jackolantern basket pattern is this one:

There is an error in the pattern, but I think you can figure it out!

Rounds 4-7 it says you should have 24 dc. I just repeated round 3 for rounds 4-7 (36 dc) to build up the middle of the pumpkin and then I did a round 8 (which the pattern doesn't call for) where I decreased every 4th dc i think to get 24 dc. fastened off and then did the handle a tad bit longer than what it called for too.

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.

Supafreak, I don't know about anyone else but I'd LOVE to see it. Eventhough crochet is my passion:hook I still appreciate other crafts, and sometimes get idea's from them. I also paint when I need a break from holding yarn.

hugs, Sunrisedq

well, it is crocheted, and now finished. here it is. I used an old angora/cashmere sweater that i found at the goodwill and felted it, then cut it out to the shapes i needed. I crocheted the rest out of something by bernat, but i can't remember exactly what it was

I am crocheting doilies and treat bags.

[Mermaiden]

I have been dying to make something festive, mostly because I have had my eye on this crazy Fun Fetti for a couple of months and was just waiting for Halloween time, but I don't know WHAT to make from it!

 

Any thoughts? A wearable is more likely, though it'd make cute hair on a witch doll or something I bet Something about it just *looked* Halloween, to me.

 

Edit, hmm. Trim around a bag perhaps.

[unicorn37757]

That is so cute!

I'm still plugging away on my trick or treat bags for the kids. They're so boring!!!! They're cute so far, but I'm ready for them to be done and do something not so tedious as sc!

Finished my Halloween treat bags. I think they're cute.

Now they're ready to fill with gift cards, Pop Rocks, etc. It takes a lot of imagination for college kids! Here's the recipe if you're interested. http://www.coatsandclark.com/Crafts/Crochet/Projects/Seasonal/LC1383+Bag+of+Treats.htm

I've already decided they could be ad-libbed for Christmas and Easter just by changing the colors and applique's.

[lauried26]

[sunrisedq]

Hello Everyone! I hope it's not too late. I'm making mini jack-o-lanterns, approx. 3-4 inches deep for my 4 yr. olds pre-school class. I'm going to fill them with little surprises since they can't have candy in school. I will post a pic. of the one I have in progress later today, I still have to put the handle & face on it. I'll probably wait until after I get them all finished to put the faces on because i'm doing them in felt. Hopefully, this keeps me motivated to finish them. :cheer

[QueenOfCrochet]

Susan~I love those bags, they are beautiful. You did a great job on them, very talented.

Sunrise~Great job on your Halloween stuff. Very nice.

Can I resserect this CAL? and joing? I didn't see another Halloween CAL ( I searched) that was newer. Halloween is coming soon and this CAL has some great ideas and links, so I don't see a reason to start a new one or could and link this one....

 

Not sure what to make or when I'll start but I'm seeing some things in the Show & Tell that look fun!
