Witch Crochet

Which Witch Crochet do I do next? One of my favorite characters of the season is the “witch”. One of my favorite pattern designers is Valerie Fuller. Her dedication to detail evolves in all of her great patterns. I’m loving the detail in this Witch Crochet doily.

Witch Crochet

So many wonderful details are found in this fun holiday Witch Crochet pattern. The circle of friends bringing in the “All Hallows Eve”, ghostly details on their brooms, then to finish their attire she adds the bows on their waistlines. Just plain genius! Can’t say enough about Ms. Fuller’s creativity

Thank you for taking a few minutes out of your busy day to visit How To Crochet A Beanie. What’s stopping you from beginning this wonderful Witch Crochet doily? Just a simple click and you’ll be on your way!

I found this “All Hallows Eve” poem on www.4to40.com/poems that made me just smile. I have to admit, I have felt this same way! Hope it makes you snicker too.

I hide behind the sofa quivering in fear
Now the witching hour is near
The curtains are drawn tight
And I’ve turned off the lights
The TV volume is way down low
I sit and cower it its feeble glow
Then comes the knock upon the door
And I curl up quivering on the floor
My heart is pounding my breath is shallow
My mouth is dry it’s hard to swallow
On all hallows eve I live in mortal dread
But not of monsters or the un-dead
The fear that turns my heart to stone
Is Trick or Treaters knowing I’m home

Ghost Crochet

What is Halloween? Where did it originate? Why do we celebrate this time of year? So I look up the history of Halloween. History.com tells us, and I give them all the credit for this interesting blog on it:

“Straddling the line between fall and winter, plenty and paucity, life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. It is thought to have originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints and martyrs; the holiday, All Saints’ Day, incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows’ Eve and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a secular, community-based event characterized by child-friendly activities such as trick-or-treating. In a number of countries around the world, as the days grow shorter and the nights get colder, people continue to usher in the winter season with gatherings, costumes and sweet treats.”

So gather up your crochet hook and start your Ghost Crochet today.

Pumpkin poem;http://www.dltk-holidays.com/fall/pumpkinpoem1.htm

One day I found two pumpkin seeds.
I planted one and pulled the weeds.
It sprouted roots and a big, long vine.
A pumpkin grew; I called it mine.
The pumpkin was quite round and fat.
(I really am quite proud of that.)
But there is something I’ll admit
That has me worried just a bit.
I ate the other seed, you see.
Now will it grow inside of me?

(I’m so relieved since I have found
That pumpkins only grow in the ground!)

Scarves For Mother's Day

FOR MOMS

She was there at the beginning
When the world was new to you -
She was there to turn to happy times
Those when, you were hurt or blue.

She was there to listen to your thoughts
And when you asked, to give advice -
She was there to tell you, “Those don’t match!”
Or, “Hon, you sure look nice.”

She was there with you at nighttime
To help you say your prayers _
She was there to tell you, “It’s alright.”
When you had a dream that scares.

She was there at morning time
To get you up and out of bed -
She was there when you didn’t feel good (or did)
To say, “You’d best stay home, instead.”

She was there when you were hungry
And when you had those dirty clothes -
She was there when you needed her
(How she knew? Only heaven knows.)

She was there at the beginning
And she’ll be there your whole life through -
She’ll be there in your mind and heart
Just like a mother is supposed to do.
