Recent knitting

I’ve finished a few small knitting projects recently. Firstly my very autumnal arm warmers:

Yarn: Schoppel “Admiral R Druck” Intarsia sock yarn
Pattern: Improvised

Then there was a fair-isle cardigan for Anneli:

Yarn: Garnstudio Drops Karisma
Pattern: Drops B16-10

After finishing the cardigan, I wasn’t quite sure what to knit next. So I whipped up a neck snuggly:

Yarn: The very delicious Manos Del Uruguay Wool Classica
Pattern: Improvised

And then, inspired by our beautiful pumpkin harvest, I knitted my first ever tea cosy:

Pumpkin harvest

We harvested our pumpkins about 2 weeks ago – here is a shot of 43 delicious baby bear pumpkins. At the time this picture was taken, we’d eaten 4 pumpkins already, making a total harvest of 47.

Here is the whole lot posing on our outdoor table

And here is our little pumpkin posing with the other little pumpkins. When the inevitable questions begin, we will use this photo to back up our offical stance of “we found you in the pumpkin patch”.
