I made something! LOL!
It is getting so close to Fall and I am really getting excited to decorate for it... I know, I know, I was just starting to get used to the Summer weather but... school is starting soon so that means FALL right? I saw this great wreath on Tatertots and Jello website and instantly knew that I wanted to attempt to make my own!Here is the post from her site that got me going!

Then I decided to knit me some pumpkins and hot glue some twigs like this to them...
Fall Pumpkin
Materials:
Red Heart Light n' Lofty Multi - Colorway: Pheasant
US 11 Needles
Small amount of poly-fill
1" twig
Gorilla Glue
Cast on 20 sts
Row 1 (and all odd rows): Purl
Row 2: *kfb, k1* across, 30 sts
3-18: work in stockinette
Row 19: *k2tog, k1* across, 20 sts
20: purl
Cut a 10" tail, draw through remaining sts and pull tight
Using cast on tail, draw through CO sts and pull tight then mattress stitch the two sides together (remember to stuff the pumpkin before stitching it closed!)
Using the Gorilla Glue, glue the stick to the top.
Ok so this is how I did it and here are a few of my wreath! Hope you like... and good luck making yours!
