Knitting for the RV



As we prepare to take Emily to ASU I have tried to think of things I can do while traveling in the RV, because just sitting without crafting just does not work for me!! As much as I would love to take my altered art or card making (which I have had some good ole' fun doing this week), it just would not be practical..much sadness!
So, I thought that it would be a good time to work towards my favorite season AUTUMN. I always make some sort of pumpkins and hand them out like candy to friends. My tradition is to create a new pumpkin every year and add it to our family's personal pumpkin patch (we have about 12 different ones)I set out. It is so funny that my son Chris is always waiting for me to show him the latest and greatest pumpkin to be added to the patch every y
ear. This year... (drum roll please) knitted and felted pumpkins have made the cut. I will try to just use orange and green yarn on my stash to create them because that is the fun part. In years past I head to the thrift store and buy old clothes to support how and what I will make the pumpkins out of...so this year that will not be part of my process. Its always hilarious to see how adorable I can make them for a very small amount of $$$$. Also some of my people just can not believe what I come up with..(smile of joy)
I know some of you are thinking "it seems early to be think
ing about Fall", but as far as I am concerned, it is NEVER to early to think of pumpkins, apples, falling leaves, cool weather and blue as blue can be skies!
Off I go to hunt for pumpkin patterns and orange and green yarn...wish me luck!

P.S. Start thinking about the "treats" you will be creating this year !!
