Cucurbita pepo
After finally getting to finishing up the pattern and some deadline knitting, I was feeling like a quick little knit before working on finishing up some WIPs.
I knew the perfect thing. I had been wanting to make some of these since I first saw the pattern - mini pumpkins! These are easily one of my favorite Halloween decorations and now I have one that won't rot.
Fantastic pattern by Wool Windings - "Miniature Felted Pumpkin"
Yarn: Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky (stash busting- right on)
Needles: I used 10.5 dpns as that's what I had, just worked it loosely
I also got to visit my purse and ribbon at the State Fair of Texas. As promised, cheesy photo of me and entry.

Congrats on your ribbon!

Did you win a ribbon? How exciting! The craft hall was always my favorite attraction at the State Fair! I've definitely missed being able to go since moving to Florida. Enjoy it again for me, will you? : )
