Having said that I have started crocheting gourds and pumpkins. I found a free pattern from http://www.lionbrand.com/ called Thanksgiving Gourds. You will need to create an account to access the pattern but there are cute. I have started with the Butternut Squash. I will post pictures when I have finish.
In the meantime here is a cute pictures of my doggy. She had an owie on her nose so got a Spongebob band aid.
