I carved my first Halloween pumpkin. We bought a pumpkin from Lidl, one of the grocery stores with affordable prices. It is SEK9,90 per kg and this is a 5kg pumpkin. So about SEK50.
First, estimate at where the lid of the pumpkin is to be carved out. I was afraid initially for the knife in case the pumpkin skin is hard. It is not hard at all and with a few thumps at the bottom of the knife, the knife went in and one follows the drawn line around the pumpkin. One has to carefully twist the knife a bit so that the knife does not detour much from the drawn line.
Now, the pumpkin lid is off
Then, remove all the fillings from the pumpkin with a spoon. Scrape everything out.
Time to draw the eyes, nose and mouth. The reason the eyes and nose are in straight lines is because it is easy to carve them out.
