Halloween is around the corner and all crocheters very excited about this! Do you like Halloween?

Well, it is a controversial topic for some, because unfortunately some people haven't really learned about the real origin of this holiday. Many people think it has to do with the Devil, but it doesn't, because the Celts did not believe in the Devil. The Devil is part of the Christianity and they did not believe on that. They just simply celebrated the end of the harvest season, the Samhain.  The boundary between our world and the Otherworld thinned so spirits or fairies could enter this world. They disguised and wore masks and offered food to the soul of the dead that visited them that night.

This is why people disguise and ask for candy.! 

Let's celebrate by crocheting a little ghost and a candy corn!! Here are their patterns!!
