Oh, for the love of a new project!
I've done it...I've cast on for Green Gable, using GGH "Bali." Three times I've cast on for this very, very simple knit, and now I think I've got it...
But I am in New Project Heaven, and there are roses there, in that Heaven. What more could a girl ask for?
How about another edition of "Guess How Many Skeins???" It's a little blog-land game, in which I put skeins of yarn into something, and you try to guess how many I have crammed in the object. There is always a wonderful prize for the winner, and perhaps even for the runner-up....I don't think we've played since spring.
So, here we go...GUESS HOW MANY SKEINS????
What does the winner get? (Drum roll, please........)
A lovely skein of Opal Sock Yarn! CLAPPING, CHEERING, WHISTLING!!!!!
So, let's go knitters...lurkers as well....Guess How Many Skeins! Before Sunday, June 25th.
I'll do just about anything for Opal My guess is 37 skeins.
The roses are just stunning!

38!
I wish I could roses like those. Gorgeous!
Posted by: Marina | June 21, 2006 at 09:12 AM
I was going to guess 35, but someone beat me to it, so I'll guess 36. And the roses are absolutely gorgeous.

I'll guess 28.
And btw, I think it took me 3 (maybe 4?) tries to co and get going on GG but it was worth it.

Well, I'm-a guessing 42.
It's getting harder and harder to resist casting on a Green Gable for myself. I'm sure it's only a matter of time!
Posted by: Lynda | June 21, 2006 at 09:39 AM
All of that yarn is soooooo beautiful, and so is the chair. (I have curtains in that pattern.)
I will guess 30. I do not think anyone has taken that number yet.
Posted by: heather | June 21, 2006 at 10:02 AM
I'm guessing 27... and your roses are dazzling!
Posted by: Sarah | June 21, 2006 at 10:11 AM
I am a beginning knitter and a lurker here at your blog. I guess 31. Thanks for the opportunity!

My guess is 26!
Posted by: Michelle | June 21, 2006 at 10:31 AM
I'll go with 50. :)
I am in just about the same place as you with Green Gable. I do believe the third time was the charm for me also.
Posted by: Karen | June 21, 2006 at 10:47 AM
37. Yeah good number. I win. :)
Posted by: Amanda | June 21, 2006 at 10:49 AM
Last time I seriously underestimated, so this time I'll go with 64. Also in honor of Sir Paul:)
Posted by: Lauren | June 21, 2006 at 10:55 AM
I'll try 43. I love the chair, too.
Posted by: Cindy Ericsson | June 21, 2006 at 11:13 AM
I was going to say 32, but someone else beat me to it.
So I'll say 43. :)
Posted by: Folkcat | June 21, 2006 at 11:28 AM
52 is my guess. :)
Posted by: PBnJ | June 21, 2006 at 11:38 AM
Ladies! It's okay to guess the same number as someone else...I will draw from the correct numbers and pick a winner or perhaps even send a few prizes!
