crochet pumpkin gone mad - HELP!

[Pax]

You ladies are a trip! I barely can sew a button back on much less make a pumpkin or anything else recognizeable with yarn. Very nice work!

Right there with ya! I look closely at my sweaters sometimes and try to figure out how on earth they do that.

I love all of your assorted comments. They make my reading here entertaining too.

Yes, this might be a happy accident, but I still think it has potential. My pattern is looking like what it should be. They only problem is, it is not stuffable until further down the road so to speak. They do not tell you as you make an item that it might take on strage and bizzare shapes before reaching the final product.

It could be a Halloween coaster?

This might be the halloween brain coral brought up from the sea.

I took another picture so all could see what it looks like. My hunch is once I get closer to the end point and stuffable it will all fill out. I have put my hand inside this thing and it will expand out and look like it should.

Persistance counts..

Enjoy!

Ok here is the update.....

I am almost finished with this. I took the advice of many people here and visited the craft shop and got some needed help. I was doing a lot wrong to answer all of your questions. I guess Ican make great lichens, brain corals as needed. I'll I have to do is stuff this and it will be an instant pumpkin.

Here it is:

Yay!!! It looks great!

I'd actually like to know what you were doing wrong, though. The brain coral was pretty cool!
