Early this morning...
Eating their breakfast, right next to the road. Boy, these guys really have no fear!!!
This pic is a little blurry because I had to snap the photo while slowly navigating around the turkeys (some were very close to the road), without a co-pilot. Hey, at least I didn't immediately text while driving! :D

And just in time for the chilly willy weather!
I based this cardigan on a red children's pullover, called "Red" from the book Cable Confidence. Been in a cardigan sweater mood, lately. So I looked for a cute sweater to turn into a cardigan. The XOXOs were so cute and I love bobbles. This sweater screamed to be made!

Brings out the fun things!
There were about 18 turkeys in the field. Really seem to be enjoying their breakfast!
It is usually early fall, when the wild flocks of turkeys become very active, walking around (anywhere in town). A couple times, we've had them in our yard. And to my surprise, a Turkey Hawk, a while back!!! Never hear about anyone hunting them. (Good! They are fun to see.)

Was fun to see the balloon flying overhead! It's been a little while, but this morning was a nice crisp, cool morning to fly.

Mandragora (common name; Mandrake)
Belonging to the nightshades family. The roots sometimes resemble human figures.
Look like frog's legs! (Oh no!!! Prince Charming!)
Now it looks like a scrawny chicken!
Mandrake ready for picking!!!
Hey, if the deer won't let me grow plants in the gardens, then maybe I'll just knit my own!
I knitted this using the I-cord, bobbles, and the Magic Loop method on circular needles. Since it was worked in the round, there were no seams to sew. The only hand-sewing was attaching branches, the leaves, root strands and creating the bark-like texture and features.
Yarn used is the Red Heart Super Saver. Needles - US #5.
I MOST DEFINITELY suffer from Artistic Attention Deficit Disorder. I am almost done with the sweater I am knitting but put it on hold to finally make this guy. I have really wanted to make him for a long time. Past couple days I have been in a waiting area of some kind or another and wanted a small project to knit, (instead of dragging around what is now an almost complete sweater). This was a nice, small project to keep me busy and after seeing Guardian of the Galaxy with my older daughter, I thought this was finally the time to try my own root-person!
