Pumpkin redo.

 When I first showed the pumpkin I made on the knitting loom, I wasn't completely satisfied with it. Mostly I didn't care for the stem.

I wasn't going to make another one but then changed my mind and tried again. I was much happier with the second attempt. I still used the felt stem but cut it shorter than the first time. Then I added some silk leaves and some excelsior 



I also tied a piece of yarn around it tightly in 3 different spots to give the appearance of veins in the pumpkin.

    Pumpkins are such a pleasing shape and colour, and yours look just right.

    Your "re-do" is perfect. Love the shorter stem and the veins too.
    You are a great artist.

    I must agree, this one does look better, though the other one was cute too.
