{Fall DIY's - Day 3 - Sweater Pumpkins}

What says "Fall" more than a cable knit sweater? A cable knit pumpkin of course!


Here's to make them.
Gather lot's of smaller sized balls from the garage -


Dig into your collection of thrift store sweaters -


Find the sleeve of the sweater - 


Slide a ball through till it just about pops out the wrist -


Trim the sweater a few inches above the ball - 






Tie the top with a rubber band -


Add string, twine, ribbon and voile!


Cable knit pumpkins - 





Now you can cozy up with you cable knit pumpkins and a homemade Chai Tea from yesterday's post.
