Just to show you that pumpkins (at least the plants) will grow in the desert. I tried them in the container this year as I usually get someone (most likely with big ears and a fluffy cotton tail) who likes to munch on the baby sproutlings. If you look back here, you can compare the two pictures.And, ta da...
...the leaf tee. You can obviously see where I ran out of the lighter color yarn and switched over to a slightly darker hue. I had to crochet around the bottom, I thought I wouldn't mind the curled edge just binding off did, but I didn't like it (and I am not the world's best crocheter by any rate). The idea I got from my Knitting in Plain English by Maggie Righetti. I love this book, it helped me so much when I re-taught myself how to knit when the Munchkin was born.
Pattern: leaf tee from Knitting School Dropout
Needles: US #6 (circular)
Yarn: top part, Brown Sheep Company (I have no idea the color number-- it's turquoise/teal); bottom part, Lion Brand Wool, color dark teal (#178).

That's a great top!
Great job! Looks similar to Rusted Root - love it!
Good job. The color contrast is good. It's good to have some modifications to make a pattern yours.
I will have to check out that book. Looks perfect for me. Nice top!
I was thinking of you this week with all our trees full of beautiful fall colors!
