I live in a neighbourhood bursting with creative types... and we have an annual Pumpkin Festival on November 1st each year. So, yeah... a few triangles and a candle just don't cut it in my hood. Yup. 36 years after graduating from high school... I am still succumbing to peer pressure.
It's kind of ironic that I didn't carve a jack-o-lantern until I was in my 40s -- and not my early 40s at that. My mishpocheh did not do pumpkin carvings. No pumpkin pie. Not even pumpkin kugel. Nada... and today I keep saying I'm Jewish, not Druish but my hood doesn't care. So it's game on.
This year's carving is knit-inspired (hence the blog entry) and dedicated to all my Wooly Mamas and knit geek friends out there in virtual knit land...
