Hands off my pumpkin || Dirty Smith Zombie Apocalypse Challenge

This is my entry for the Dirty Smith Zombie Apocalypse Challenge 2019.
For the 5th year in a row, the pumpkins are getting the bad end of the deal, being used as test objects for the amazing variety of weapons people made. I took pity on the pumpkins, and decided to give them some much needed protection.

Safest pumpkin on the planet! 🎃 Awesome job Ellen! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 ..... Crocheting with wire! 🤯

[@RedSmith]

I love this. I think the handle on top is my favorite feature. Nicely done!!

[@lucashadley4880]

Crocheted chainmale for the win!

[@ThedwarfsizedWorkshop]

This is marvelous. I like the casual sprinkling of Laura's through the video. 😄

[@SylviePereiraSyPer]

Mr Pumpkin is so lucky to have you ! You even made him a protective cover :D Now you can have safe walks with him as it also has a handle.

[@FigmentsMade]

Hands down this needs to win. This is absolutely fabulous!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

You are fabulous Sharon.

[@ReindeerStudios]

hahaha! I'm glad to see Mr. Pumpkin is safe and secure. Great job, Ellen! I love it.

[@calolson9572]

Loving the metal... enjoying the welding... THE CROCHET HOOK!!!!!! 😄😄😄😄😄

[@JohnMadeit]

Good to know that if one of your friends gets bitten and turned in to a pumpkin zombie you have the loyalty to still protect them.

[@laurinos8774]

Great build. Crocheting the mesh is seriously impressive. For next year Halloween please attach some wheels to the cage and take pumpky for a walk.

[@theurbanforge3129]

Protect the pumpkin. Well done a great job. Loved the metal wire crocheting

[@TheMessyStudio]

Crocheted chainmail... brilliant, Ellen! Billy

[@AshleyMinney]

I love both the functionality and aesthetics of the latches. What a clever take on this challenge :)

[@JENNISWISS]

congratulate! one of the best videos on the subject🍀👍

[@JockMcBile]

I'm a bit behind on my videos, so sorry. But this was HILARIOUS. I love it when you and Laura Kampf release videos on the same day. I'm like Whoooooooooo, double fantastic. Thank you for these cool videos Ms. Ellen.

[@DanTyson]

This is my favorite video of yours. You showed skills I didn't know you had. The crocheted chain mail was so cool. Nice welding. Overall, a job well done. Thank you.

[@annasandahl]

Love your approach and that you are on the pumpkins' side! Great job!

[@whazee]

Yeeeeessss! Finally! And with Metal-Sewing too!? EXTREME!!! 😄👍

[@dogsewdance]

I love shadows you make on the wall while welding. Another great video! Love it!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

I love that you noticed the shadows! I got so excited when I saw this particular shot with the moving shadow, it looks so spooky 👻😄

[@elvisdepelvis4431]

👍👍👍 Word on the market is you’re now the official 🎃 armourer. I already knew you from heavy metal knitting. But you stepped even up with heavy metal crocheting and sewing! 🤘 rock on !

[@annie-centrepiecefurniture]

I love it !! Has a medieval feel to it...One happy pumpkin :)

[@EdBrentnall]

Knitting with metal. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better!

[@davebauerart]

Wonderful. Best protected pumpkin ever. I was just saying how chain mail is like knitting metal!

[@torravengael4490]

That's some badass pumpkin armor! Awesome!

[@sgsax]

Super fun project and video! The crochet chain mail is great. I bet your hands felt great after that. 😄 Thanks for sharing!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

I may or may not still have sore fingers 😅

[@toddbaker64]

LOL Your videos never disappoint. The wire weave was awesome!!

[@owenmorse3136]

Ellen you've made the man in the iron mask , like in the story book.

[@RichardMartin]

This is brilliant. Top work Ellen

[@MaltandMake]

What am I up to.... oh, just watching a video of my friend fail to beat up a pumpkin... you know... normal stuff.

[@nodeswitch]

You have my vote! Amazing work!

[@AndyBirkeyMaker]

Wait, you just sewed with metal? RESPECT!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

You say respect, my fingers say STUPID 😂

[@k.hussain360]

That's one way to protect the pumpkins lol

[@bonilla2022]

" No pumpkins were harmed in the making of this video!" :-)

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Exactly!! 😁

[@MichaelKieweg]

Either you built a chastity belt for a pumpkin or you forgot the inner spikes of the iron maiden.

[@alanscannell]

The smashing pumpkins will be furious 😂 fantastic ellin love it 👍

[@CraftsWithEllen]

They'll just have to smash something else ;)
