Pumpkin Stalking
Wednesday, October 20, 2010 at 7:27AM
Yes, it is that time,the best time of the year, in my opinion 8-) . My hubby and I, no kids 8(, went Pumpkin stalking over the weekend and enjoyed ourselves for awhile just taking in the ambiance. Look at these gorgeous white pumpkins!
After a few choices of switching between finding the perfect pumpkins for each of us, we settled on these two:
I just love the stem on my hubby's, the larger one. These will be carved as we get closer to Halloween, which means this will be our first year attending the "Halloween Haunt" at Great America. I can't wait to go and see all the ghouls and ghosts they've setup there.
Ooh, and on our way out of the Pumpkin Patch, we ran into these cuties:
Do you see them kissing? I felt bad cause they were scared of us, they ran to the corner as we approached. I took two quick pictures and left them alone, poor things.
Some other cool pumpkins, kind of like the freaky pumpkins were these conjoined pumpkins:
I almost bought the smaller pair! And not to leave you without any knitting updates, here's this scarf blocking:
I knitted this with Unisono Worsted, this yarn is absolutely luscious, extremely soft to knit with, so be careful loose knitters out there. As I was knitting with this, several times my stitches flew off the needles, and I'm a tight knitter too. These are the fibery details for this yarn, new to the LYS I work at:
100% Merino Extrafine
100% New Wool
100% Laine Vierge
whit Aloe Vera and Jojoba
Made in Germany
Looking at this scarf block, it's pretty nice to see the slow gradient change in color depth, very pretty. This project pattern may not have been perfect for this yarn, but it really shows up nicely. I'm going to look for another pattern to knit, possibly in the round. I think the progression of knitting in the round will further enhance the color depth change vs. the flat & vertical knitting that was used for this pattern. I'll post tomorrow the final pictures of this FO, which include some interesting button choices.
