Welcome to my pumpkin patch! As you can see, I have been busy with pumpkins and leaves.
Last week I shared a link for the little crocheted pumpkins, and I see some of you have been making them. I decided to add some leaves to mine I thought it dressed them up a bit. I found this pattern for the maple leaves here. The name of her etsy shot is Golden Lucy Crafts. I love her patterns! These leaves look complicated, but her pattern makes it so easy, I can make one up in about 40 minutes.
I love the little green one. With all this "pumpkin porn" I filled up my etsy shop and started making more for myself. This is such a great way to use up that leftover acrylic yarn we all have. I am tempted to run out and pick up some more yellow because I am just about out. I keep telling myself I don't need it, but then the other side of my brain tells me I DO need it. LOL
I did a search on pinterest for "crochet leaves." Holy Crap! There is some cool stuff on there I want to try.
Just for fun I did a little Jack-o-Lantern to go with the "Franken-owl". Notice the little bolts coming out the side of his head! LOL!
As promised, I wanted to share my finished sweater with everyone. I have the buttons on it, it has been blocked, and I have even worn it once already!
It fits me perfectly. I can wear it like this..... or....
with the collar up. I have learned so much from knitting this!! If anyone is new to knitting sweaters I would definitely suggest this pattern. Look, I even got brave and added pockets!
I am off of here for now. I am sure I will be back next week with some more crochet.
