Front Porch Knitting

There's a whole lot of Front Porch Knitting going on at my house these days as I work at breakneck speed in preparation for the upcoming Pumpkin Festival. We have just under 3 weeks left to finish up and then we will all be setting up our booths at the Craft Faire. I love the hodgepodge variety of all the vendors set up together. The buzz of energy as we all work individually, and yet collectively, is nearly palpable in its silent hum that constantly weaves throughout the entire event. Quite honestly, I believe it's one of the biggest and best reasons I return year after year for this wonderful event. I am truly delighted in, and totally energized by, the overall sense of belonging; sense of community the Pumpkin Festival bestows upon me. It is small town living at it's very finest.

And I am a small town Girl to the core.

   So I have been knitting a lot of pumpkins these days.
Some have been for custom orders, some fly out the door as people stop by and some will show up in my booth at the Festival.
Never fear...

If you arrive at my booth too late and I'm sold out...

I take custom orders and I work fast.

This photo was taken by a recent customer who sent it to me after she received the pumpkins as a surprise gift from her very sweet hubby.

Pictured here are three pumpkins in Natural and three in Blaze Orange.

All of my pumpkins are made using 100% Pure Wool double stranded and contain approximately 8 cups of fiber fill per pumpkin. 

By the way, this photo was used with the permission of the happy customer. :-)

I love to provide variety for people

so I knit pumpkins in different colors to suit various tastes.

Also, if you look closely, you will see just the top of some pumpkin dishcloths peeking out from underneath the stuffed pumpkins in the basket.

They are made from a wonderful fiber blend of cotton and linen

and I will have them along with me as well.

Then, of course, I will have some baby items for sale too...

But switching gears...

There will be items besides pumpkin themed knits in my booth as well, such as one of my all time favorite Fall Fashion accessories: Fingerless Mitts.

I always provide several styles and colors for those who like them.

So if you love warm hands and free fingers,

come and see me.

 I'll be in booth number
