- CM Exclusive Design...Unleash a bit of Autumn Magic in your Home with New Thanksgiving Home Decor and Centerpieces
Below you will find unique creations and patterns I have designed exclusively for my customers. I go into the "hows" and "whys" you won't find them anywhere else. The Essence of Autumn Decor Autumn decor brings a sense of comfort through its rich colors and textures. Think about how shades of orange, gold, and deep burgundy mimic nature’s stunning transformation. For Thanksgiving, the dining table becomes a showpiece. Whether you're hosting a family gathering or an intimate dinner, your table should radiate the joy of the season. A highlight of this decor is the Turkey Gobbler Table Topper from The Crocheted Moon. It is more than just a centerpiece; it invites everyone to celebrate the festivities together. Creating a Warm Ambiance with Centerpieces A well-crafted centerpiece can set the mood for your Thanksgiving gathering. It becomes the focal point around which laughter, conversation, and delicious food swirl. I wanted to create something with perfect balance of fun and beauty. The Turkey Gobbler Table Topper, complete with cheerful safety eyes and playful legs, brings warmth and personality to your celebration. Using vibrant variegated yarns gives each piece a slightly different look and a special uniqueness to each turkey which contributes flair and infuses your space with a touch of handmade love. But it's not just another pretty turkey. Beyond aesthetic appeal, functionality enhances the charm of decor. The Turkey Gobbler Table Topper is cleverly designed with a weighted internal bean bag, ensuring it stays upright during your feast. This practical feature allows you to focus on enjoying the gathering instead of adjusting decor. Add to this aesthetic with delightful Harvest Gnomes, like Henrietta and Abel. They bring whimsical charm to any setting. Unique Handmade Treasures Handmade pieces stand apart from mass-produced decor. Each creation from The Crocheted Moon carries thoughtful craftsmanship, ensuring that no two items are identical. With this thought in mind I wanted to add to our collection of Gnomes with a simple, rustic, gnome that embodied the feeling of the harvest and gathering in the bounty of autumn. Henrietta is showcased mainly in earth tones and shades of green with a suspender style jumper. I chose to do her hair in braided buns as I envisioned women in the past collecting the fruits and veggies in the field. Abel the Harvest Gnome complements Henrietta beautifully, enhancing similar attention to detail. His playful design shows rugged blue jean like overalls and bushy no-nonsense mustache and are finished of with a textured harvest hat adorned with miniature fall leaves and acorns. And I must confess....I'm in love the mini acorns! I think acorns are an under used fall decoration that gives just the right feel for the changing of the seasons. Bringing It All Together As you prepare for the Thanksgiving celebration, remember that the decorations you choose play a vital role in setting the tone of the occasion. To create a perfect Thanksgiving atmosphere, blend handmade pieces with your personal style. Incorporate natural elements like pumpkins, gourds, and seasonal flowers to elevate your theme. The unique designs from The Crocheted Moon beautifully complement traditional decor. Consider organizing your table with various textures—rustic wood, soft fabrics, and, of course, the charming hand-crocheted items. These can serve as conversation starters and warm reminders of the heartfelt effort put into creating them. #bloggingthemoonCM #CMexclusivedesgin #crochetedthanksgivingcenterpieces

- Stitches & Patterns...Stitching Up Memories: A Look Back at the Fall-fetti Placemat and Coaster Pattern
In need of a good DYI project or want to brush up on you crochet knowledge, well my dears, you have come to the right place. A look back Reviving a classic pattern for a fast DIY project to get your home ready for fall. The earlier blog post, Know Your Crochet....The Magic of the Ring , provided a quick guide on various methods to begin what crocheters refer to as the magic ring. This technique is essential for starting any circular or tubular pattern. Here is a recap of the magic ring, and you can access the PDF download for the Fall-fetti placemat & coaster at the conclusion of the blog. Round & round we go! I'm not talking about an exhaustive argument with yourself, I'm talking about making a circle. So, if you're tired of making squares and rectangles and would like to soften up your projects the magic ring is truly a magic way to begin. Unlike squares that are crocheted in rows (flipping back and forth between front and back), the circle or any cylinder type project is done in rounds...well because you go around and around lol! How to start your round ONE Ring of Chains Method: A lot of people just starting to learn crochet will use this method because it's the simplest to use. To start you chain 4 stitches and then use a slip st to connect the two ends and make a ring. Then depending on what stitch you're use (SC, HDC, DC) you'll stitch the number you need for your pattern, into the center of the ring. Pros: use to use Cons: leaves a hole in the middle Advantage: if your design requires an opening in the middle TWO Magic Circle Method: For this method you start with a loop and then make a slip knot around the loop. Once you have your slip knot you cans start adding your stitches around the loop. As you go around the loop you will notice that there is tail hanging down from the loop you created. Once you have the number of stitches you need you pull this tail tight until the hole in the middle closes up. After tightly closing your circle you join the round by slip stitching in the your first stitch. Pros: no open holes in the center and makes your work look more finished Cons: slightly harder to learn than the "Ring of Chains" Method Advantage: can use on any circular project (socks, hats, placemats...) that requires a ring to start THREE Chain Method: Start by chaining however many chains you need for your stitch, plus one. For example if you're using single crochet stitches you would chain 1 + 1 = 2, or if your using double crochet stitches you would chain 2 + 1 = 3. Then you would continue by making your first stitch in the chain farthest from the hook and so on until you have the number of stitches needed for your project. However, the slip knot you use to make your chain can cause a gap in our circle. But never fear you can remedy this by picking out the slip knot and pulling the remaining tail tight like you would if you were using the "Magic Circle". Pros: A versatile ring to use. You can leave the hole in the center if needed, or tighten the center. Cons: you have to add an extra step to tighten the circle unlike using the "Magic Circle". Advantage: can use on any circular project (socks, hats, placemats...) that requires a ring to start Picking favorites So out of the 3 methods above I really favor the "Magic Circle". I love the finished look of it and in my opinion it's actually the sturdiest circle to use and more often than "knot"...wink, wink...will not come undone. And the biggest reason....there is NO HOLE in the center of your project! I can't tell you how much that bugs me! Side note, unless you need the hole. #bloggingthemoonCM #knowyourcrochet #circlesofmagic In the spirit of giving! Since November IS the month of GIVING & GRATITUDE I am attaching a 2 for 1. You can use the same pattern to create festive placemats and matching coasters. Not a bad deal!! FALL-FETTI PLACEMAT & COASTERS
