It is almost November and one thing that I like to do throughout the month of November is some kind of activity to help my family focus on gratitude. Obviously we think about what we are thankful for on Thanksgiving, but I like to stretch it out through the whole month if I can. Sometimes it is easy to focus on the hard stuff or the stuff that isn't going the way we want it to and forget about all of the wonderful blessings we have to be thankful for. 

Gradient Stripes Baby Blanket

This is a pattern that has been on my idea list for a long time. I once saw an ad for a pattern from a yarn company that was a striped blanket made out of alternating stripes of 2 colors, but they used multiple shades of each color, so if every other stripe was pink some were a darker pink, some a lighter pink, while the other stripes may have been blue, with some darker, some lighter, and others in between. They were not necessarily in any order, like dark to light, just random from what I remember, and the blanket was knit, not crochet. And they definitely used multiple skeins of different shades of each color, not one ombre or gradient skein, but it gave me an idea.

Today is Day 5 of the Bewitching Bears Crochet Along, which means there is only one day left. Doing a one week crochet along instead of two weeks like I usually do makes it feel like it goes by so fast. I can't believe we are already almost done. For today's bear I made a Little Ghost Bear. 

Friday Five: 5 More Crocheted Pumpkins

 

Today is Friday, which means that in addition to today's Bewitching Bears pattern that will be released today, it is also time for another Friday Five- and with this one I mentioned a couple of weeks ago what the theme would be. Two weeks ago I shared 5 crocheted pumpkins and mentioned I would be doing a part 2 in a couple of weeks with 5 More Crocheted Pumpkins- so that is the theme for today.

It is Day 3 of the Bewitching Bears Crochet Along and since this crochet along is only 6 days long that means we are already halfway done! Today's little bear is a very simple one, a Little Candy Corn Bear.
