Librarian knits sweaters to keep pumpkins gourd and warm | The Moment

This is what happens if you don't have a sweater. I've made six handmade wool sweaters for pumpkins. It gets really cold in Labrador pretty quickly and the pumpkin immediately starts to die. Not the best knitter. I'm a knitter. I thought maybe making a sweater for a pumpkin. I talked with the farmers and they thought I was joking. I managed to bust six out pretty quickly. I did some really cute buttons. It's so funny because I'm dressing the pumpkin way I dress myself. I already missed a button. Very colourful, really high, high turtleneck. Five pumpkins are still in the pumpkin patch. Oh, I picked it! They're still alive. The best part for me is having people out there and engaging in the fields. I don't think we knew that these pumpkin sweaters would work as long as they did. I see the rest of the country, the pumpkins are big. I wanted us to have a shot so we could compete on the big pumpkin level. Way to be competitive. And she said it was challenging to design her first sweater prototype for pumpkins because there were none in the grocery store over the summer. So instead, she hunted down the biggest watermelon that she could find and used that as her pumpkin model. And they're recyclable, so they can be used next year as well.
