Halloween ideas?

baubles I've always thought I would learn to crochet, so if you still want to post the link to the pumpkin pattern, it might be the incentive I need

(Sorry I've only just seen your post.)
That sounds a lovely way to start the Christmas celebrations SachaMac
Please post a photo of your results.
I hope you enjoy the wine and mince pie too

I’m booked on the Christmas Wreath making early December Namsnannyto include a nice glass of wine and a mince pie I will post a pic if I get chance. Some lovely autumn ideas on here.

Namsnanny it’s crochet.

Basically it’s a rectangle, sewn up the side. You gather one end leaving a long tail which you then pull up through the stuffing and use to gather the top, pulling to bring the top and bottom together.

If you crochet I can link the pattern?

You are so clever. I admire you and your wreath. I can knit simple things like a cot blanket for my little grandson but I tried crochet and couldn’t do that at all. I can sew and years ago I used to do a lot.

Thank you Forsythia I'ts lovely to see all the different craft makes isnt it?
Thank you everyone who posted.

You ladies are so talented. That wreath is a work of art. Fantastic.

Baubles I love your knitted pumpkins!

Not exactly neat eh?!

Two wreaths are bound together to make it a little bigger.
Most of the objects are just tied on with the wool used to make them.

I have to admit, most of my makes are cobbled together .

The odd jumper has turned out ok, but not always

baubles (appropriate name given your knits )
Those are gorgeous. Nice and fat looking. My pumpkins on reflection were a little thin. Which suited the wreath I put them on, but I would add a few rows to the pattern to make the next ones slightly fatter and hopefully rounder.
Chances are they will end up just taller and out of shape.

Did you knit yours in the round or flat?

Thanks Grannmarie, Witzend

Now for the unseen part of my craft....

Your wreath is stunning Namsnanny.

Some terrific crafts on here. I’ve started to make pumpkins for my kitchen window after seeing some in a cafe.

I should be working on poppies and angels for our yarn bomb group but I’m having a little break.

The perfect final touch, Namsnanny!

He's the perfect addition to your beautiful wreath, Namsnanny.

Isnt he sweet?
I saw 3 blindwooden mice for sale on ebay.
He's stuck on with double sided tape for now

That's such a lovely age Granmarie? everything is new and exciting for them.
I loved reading with my children, and when I ran a playgroup (as they were then).
The look on their faces when they recognised parts of the story.
I'm sure he'll love them.

Hello ? Namsnanny!
It's a Halloween gift bag in the centre, I thought DGS2 could re use it when he goes out guising ( with Mummy and Daddy!)
I'll be reading to him, he's two and a half, but he loves joining in with the repetition and the rhymes.

The Lovecrafts website has a lot of Halloween patterns you can download. I haven’t checked for mini pumpkins but I wouldn’t be surprised. I found a good witch pattern there a few years ago, and a brilliant bat and spider.

Namsnanny, where did you find the pattern for your pumpkin, please?
And Fleurpepper, I don't do Halloween either- I just do autumn .

Sorry just saw this, I bought mine from ebay, it doesnt have a brand name but I've checked there are quite a few different ones on there.

Embroidery on knitting, isnt easy is it Witzend?
I start off on the left and end up veering all over the shop.

So beautiful. Well done! when will you start making the Christmas one?

Brilliant Grannmarie Is that a bag or book in the centre?
Will you be reading to him or is he old enough to do so himself?

Here we are

What talented ladies you are! I love all the photos, very creative and artistic.
The most creative I get is making a pot of soup... I bought DGS2 some Halloween books from Asda today.

It’s lovely Witzend I’m sure your Gdc3 will be delighted with it.
