I then carved a bunch of smaller pumpkins before I tackled another large one. For this last one, I wanted to do something a little different. I used the stem as the nose and carved out round eyeballs. The mouth had tons of teeth. Surprisingly, I didn’t knock out any of the teeth while carving them all out individually!

Yesterday, Jennifer and I made our own knitted hats. We bought a Knifty Knitter loom kit and some yarn the day before. I went with a wool type yarn. The loom made it extremely easy. Basically, I just wrapped the yarn around the pegs. Using the enclosed hook, I flipped one loop over the other and off the peg.  The instruction booklet that came with the loom was filled with easy to understand directions and plenty of pictures. I even added a brim.
