It's eighty-five degrees here in South Jersey today but I'm still pretty excited to show off my first official fall FO. I tried to take a really artistic picture, complete with faux tealights, if you want a full color no frills affair, just scroll down.
Pattern Particulars
Pattern Source: Pumpkins by Jordana Paige for Knitty, Fall '05.
Needles: Clover Takumi Straight Needles US sz. 10.5 and Clover Takumi DPN'S sz US 11
Materials: 1 Skein each of Lamb's Pride Worsted in Oatmeal and Rust
Time: Maybe 3 hours???
Loved: Instant Gratification!!!! This really is a one night/weekend sorta deal. I sorta love the vine, too :-)
Hated: Sewing all the wedges together
Mods: I was not about to sew the top on, after sewing all the other pieces together. I got out my trusty felting needle (from a YarnPunk Kit), and just felted the crap out of it. I also used the needle to define the wedges a lil' more, because I noticed a few on Ravelry were kinda shapeless.
Even though I'm roasting here in NJ, I'm sure most of you are starting to experience fall. What better way to start it out than dusting off a gem like this:

What a cute little pumpkin. I'm going to mail out thte magazines on Wednesday.
cute! =) we're getting some on and off autumn up here in chicago. it makes me want to churn out scarves.
That's precious; you're artsy picture is much appreciated. : )
OMG, cute!!! i have a slew of pumpkin patterns that i have been collecting, but i just haven't had the inspiration to start one!! in my usual fashion, i will get the urge like 2 days before the season is over and by then it's too late to even start shopping for the supplies!! good grief charlie brown!
I adore the crap outta it!
BTW, 88 here tomorrow baby!
Another pumpkin bonus-it won't attract bugs or rot or start to smell and you can use it every year!
It's adorable! I love it.
If it doesn't start feeling like fall by October, I'm moving to Maine. Or Canada, where I will blame the lack of proper climate on the government.
Je suis passé par hasard sur ton blog et... j'adore!
Sometimes I feel so lucky when I try a link on the net, so much great personalities to discover!
