crochet pumpkin gone mad - HELP!

[Red Rock]

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!

Thankyou for all of your kind words. I am just glad I was able to get this figured out.

CA: what was doing that was wrong?
1. Not turning the piece
2. Not doing what was in the brackets around the whole row.

I think that was it. Now I have done enough circles, you would think I would remember how to do this.

My next item is to somehow use up, give away, or something, all of my red heart yarn. When I went to the shop they were all talking about how "bad" it was and I felt awful sitting there using the stuff. I might become the expert in pumpkins and other "crafty" items to get them all used. I could use them to make hats on those lofty loombs that come in a variety of colors and donate/give them away to a shelter here in town. My neighbor does that. I could help add to the collection.

If you like knitting/crocheting with it - don't feel bad! It does have a place - especially for folks who can't/won't hand wash (kids, etc). Some places will take yarn donations (unknitted) if you really want to get rid of it!

what's so bad about redheart yarn?
because it's acrylic? Donate it to a senior center. If my grandmother was still alive, she'd want it!
