Hi Knitters,Aren't those beautiful Japanese Lanterns? My daughter's teacher grew them in her garden this summer. My daughter brought a bunch of the knitted Acorns a la Betz to school for her the other day and this is what she sent us in return. Lucky trade.
I am officially a freak for orange. I love that pumpkin shade of orange any day of the week. I can't ever get enough. Japanese Lanterns, that's my first fun item to share.

Japanese Lanterns, that's my first fun item to share.My next fun item to share is this. Scroll down and look at the projects. Which design do you think is mine? I'd love to see if you can tell just from the pictures. That's pretty fun to see after my cover project debacle. It's a good pic, too.
Write in a guess in the comments if you're inclined. I wrote about the project briefly and vaguely awhile ago. I will have more on that particular project coming soon. I took some of my own photos I will share. Is that magazine out on the stands already, does anyone know? I didn't see a date on the site.
More fun ahead:

here.
I have to make these, I want just one pair of those (dpns of, course) and I simply love her style. Plus I just looked and she's talking about quinces. Love.
I figured out the photo posting thing so that's pretty fun, too.
We'll talk soon.
best, susie
I've suddenly become crazy for orange myself. Those Japanese lanterns are definitely a nice bonus!
ReplyDeleteI guess the elephant!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is the elephant. That magazine has not hit The Wool Cabin yet. I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteMy first guess was the elephant, but the pom pom hat could be it, too.
ReplyDeleteelephant! elephant!
ReplyDeletelove those lanterns, I want some.
Because I know your undying love for the Pom Tree...I'm guessing the Pom Pom Hat. Thanks for sharing all of the fun links - I think I "favorited" every one and put that book on my wish list:)
ReplyDeleteSusan I tried out those signature needles at the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival over the weekend. They were amazing. But the price!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the blue elephant, he looks so sweet and the baby blue sweater, or do you only have one? if so, then I'm saying Elephant.
ReplyDeleteYou're trying to convert us all to becoming crocheters with those bluebirds, aren't you?? Hmm, no, probably not.
ReplyDeleteI think the elephant... and I now NEED the pattern - so cute! I'll be watching for the magazine on the shelves...
ReplyDeletehow about the birds and the elephant?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the blue hat with the pompom. It is just a guess. I loved them all. Linda Gerig
ReplyDeleteMy guess is the tea cozy!
ReplyDeleteit must be the elephant... it looks like the paci clip from itty bitty nursery!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that edition of the magazine but I am going hunting at the weekend. I think you might like the hat and scarf that are a burnt orange shade
ReplyDeleteThe chinese lanterns are in full bloom here and I can't stop taking pictures of them. Beautiful color!
ReplyDeleteGotta be the elephant:)
Tina
My first guess was the elephant, until I saw the scarf with all the pom-poms. Are both yours?
ReplyDeletethis is a trick cause I first thought the elephant but those pom poms do look so you, No I am going with my first guess the elephant, he is so cute.
ReplyDeleteChris
I'm torn between the elephant and the pom pom hat!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is the red and blue "paper bag" hat with pompoms. I got my issue in the mail yesterday and can't wait to get home to check the pattern credits! Congratulations on getting published, Ramona
ReplyDeleteI love the lanterns - the color is amazing!!!!! The pom pom hat is my first guess but i also think that the elephant could be yours. Can't wait to see the magazine.
ReplyDeleteSeveral of those could be yours! I'm taking 3 guesses:
ReplyDelete1. Paper Bag Hat with Poms
2. Scarf with Poms
3. Elephant (NOT Elephante!)
I am guessing the birds!
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to guess the elephant as well. Something about the ears tells me its yours :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's the teapot cozy. Making us guess is fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI guess the blue elephant! He reminds me of the elephant paci-holder.....which I made and gave as a gift last weekend. WoW...what a hit it was!
ReplyDeleteAs I scrolled down looking over all the lovely projects, and got to the elephant I just had to smile and chuckle! :)
ReplyDeleteElephant!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be completely unoriginal at this point and also guess the elephant. It doesn't really matter if I'm right- I want to make everything on the page- so yours wins no matter what!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the elephant! It's really cute!
ReplyDelete'Tis the season for orange! Such a great autumnal color and the little lanterns are so cute-must put them on my garden list for next year.
ReplyDeleteSusan;
ReplyDeleteI have your two itty-bitty books and am officially an addict - the patterns are fabulous. I want to purchase the silk yarn you use on the garter stitich cardigan...do you mind providing the brand and color so I can find it online?
Thanks so much, cristin
