Pattern # 305:  Pumpkin Patch Pillow

This fun pattern from Michele Wilcox is perfect to spruce up your house for the season.

Finished Pumpkins!

I wanted to show off some of the pumpkins in our little pumpkin patch.

First we have Melody's.  This is my hometown friend who I think needs a blog.  She is cooking through Julia Child's cookbook and makes other yummy stuff.  She also sews and crochets gorgeous things.  She is going to open an etsy soon, and I told her she HAS to get a blog first! hehe  Anywho, she is a little overachiever with 3 pumpkins and a ghost!!

Next, we have Missie's pumpkin from Crafting with Cat Hair.  I totally understood her problem once she explained her blog name -- cat hair was always getting in her projects!  haha  Our cats are currently in the garage  because my hubby is allergic and we have to avoid all allergens for the next 14 weeks as he is in treatment.  :(  Anyways, Missie's pumpkin turned out super cute!

The last picture for today is Joan's pumpkin from Just Joan.  She linked up with a pumpkin from a previous CAL, but I let her do it because it adds nice variety!

Again, the pumpkin pattern is from Planet June, and Mel's ghost is from Lion Brand.  I'm not sure what pattern Joan used.

My Pumpkin!

Here it is!  I love how this pumpkin turned out!  It is just so pumpkiny!  You can see it next to a real pumpkin and a plastic one... which one is which??  haha  This pattern was super easy and turned out incredibly cute!

And below you can see the CAL pumpkin alongside the Lion Brand pumpkin.  I much prefer the CAL one!  What do you think??

Thanks to everyone who is joining this CAL with me!

October 27: American Girl Pumpkin Costume - COMPLETED

Pattern # 300:  AG Pumpkin Costume

Wow.  I cannot believe I am at pattern number 300 already.  And I have 49 followers.  My how this little blog has grown!  I found this (and another) costume pattern back when I was searching for American Girl patterns.  I love how cute it is.  Be sure to click on the link to see all of Elizabeth's pictures.  I really need a daughter who likes dolls! haha

And, remember to link up on my Pumpkin Crochet Along for a chance to win the awesome prize.  I finished my little guy and plan to post the pictures later today, along with a picture from a reader!

-----------------

Updated November 8, 2012:  I finished this little outfit a few weeks ago and I think it's darling. I just hope I have daughters who love American Girl Dolls someday!

Your doll can wear the outfit alone -- or with boots! I know they don't match, but I couldn't resist!

Pumpkin Beanie Pattern

Remember that pumpkin beanie pattern that I posted a few weeks ago?  And I was so depressed because I could not share the awesome pattern with you?  The first one, that I made?  You know?  You with me now?  Well guess what -- Danyel's pattern is on Fave Crafts.  Size 0 - 3 months is free!  So here you have it!

And here's Danyel's picture so you get a feeling for her original idea (I took out the windy vine part):

October 11: Pumpkin - COMPLETED

Pattern # 284:  Pumpkin

This is the second piece in our cornucopia.  How cute is this tiny little pumpkin?  Wanna know a secret -- I already crocheted this!  Like last year.  But I'm gonna stick with my challenge, and make another one for this complete set.  :)

-----------------

Updated Noember 15, 2012: I'm calling this done. I really do not like this pattern anyways. In fact, I threw the pumpkin away after this picture of the cornucopia series. I much prefer the other pumpkin pattern!

October 5: Pumpkin - COMPLETED

Pattern # 278:  Pumpkin

Every house needs a little pumpkin in the entry way, right?  Well, we have one -- only during the fall though!  And this would be a great addition!

As you may remember, this was our first Crochet Along -- and here is my completed project!

October 2: Pumpkin Beanie

Pattern # 275:  Pumpkin Beanie

Okay, this is really depressing.  I originally planned to post this pattern, because it was free back when I made this beanie.  But now it is not free.  So I have switched to a new pumpkin beanie pattern.  But I will leave my ramblings about the first hat, and the picture, because it is just that cute!

This is probably one of my most favorite beanies so far.  I made this (I actually made 2) back in 2009.  If you scroll around the project page on Ravelry, there are some really cute renditions.  Someone turned one into an apple.  Super cute!  Anywho, here is my original picture:

And now, the picture of the beanie from the free pattern, linked up top, from Crochet and More:
