Plush Pumpkins at the Library - Nov 22, 2022

My friends at the town office love my plush pumpkins, so a few have been hanging around. The top-center one is mine; the rest are going to my friends here.

top row: “Pumpkin Spice” by @dentonsinventions; yarn from Downeast Fiber Farm; knit in 2016

middle row, left: Denton’s “Pumpkin Spice” again; yarn from @sycamore‘s stash; knit 2022

middle row, right: colorwork from Just Crafty Enough’s “Wee Ski Sweater”; yarn from @sycamore‘s stash; knit 2022

bottom row, left: Lion Brand Yarn “Glittering Snowball Ornament”; yarn from @sycamore‘s stash; knit 2022

bottom row, middle: improvised pattern; yarn from @sycamore‘s stash; knit 2019

bottom row, right: Denton’s “Pumpkin Spice” again; same yarn as top pumpkin; knit 2016

Sycamore is to blame for all this orange yarn. I swear I’ve put a dent in the stash, since getting it in 2014, but there’s still so much orange yarn. Anyway, I’m pumpkin’ed out for the season.

New knit pumpkins for autumn 2016 by Elizabeth Plaid

You might remember that I knit some pumpkins last year, using the "Pumpkin Spice" pattern by @dentonsinventions. I’ve stuffed the yarn inside my in-progress one, but the other one is deflated for now. (Ooops, my fiberfill stuffing is packed away.)

The orange yarn came from Downeast Fiber Farm, which I bought at the Machias Blueberry Festival a couple weeks ago. Really, this yarn was destined to become pumpkins.

THE (pumpkin) SPICE MUST FLOW!

It's pumpkin spice time, once again, so I've gathered the latest bits of pumpkin. Pumpkin spice eggnog, a plush pumpkin (pattern by Denton Foreman), and some real pumpkins.

@beansproutmomo got the first pumpkin I knit, which wasn’t tufted. I guess the trick is sewing the tufting near the base of the stem, rather than near the edge of the rib pattern like I did.
