It's been an orange kind of week, thanks to my finishing my BC Uber Jack and the newest sock club yarn from Cookie A. I know orange isn't for everyone but I think it's kind of dreamy when it's peachy/Creamsicle in tone. Or an autumny pumpkiny kind of orange. Ok, basically any orange except for traffic cone orange is cool with me. (What can I say? I like color.)
Thank you, Cookie, for your adventurous spirit and eye for color. I *love* this yarn!

Jack is none too shabby in the orange department either though. Did you catch how close I am to the edge of the linen in the first pic? Heheheh. I was determined to use this piece of scrap linen for some reason (me = stubborn idiot) and it was close. REAL close! I figured I could just leave out the vine if I needed a little more room at the end there. I'll definitely have to measure for a frame verrrrrrrrrrry carefully though if I go the framing route. :)
I don't see myself using this pattern again (I only redo smalls) so if someone wants it, leave me a comment and I'll pass it along to you for free. I'll pick someone randomly in a couple days if there is more than one of you who do.
Note: please make sure your email is EASILY found though, either from your profile or by typing it out in your comment. Hunting for contact info on the internets makes me a grumpy bear and you can't make me do it. Nope. I'm a princess/brat that way. :)

I'm trying to cut down on stash, so I'll pass on the chart. It's cute though -- love how it came out. You like to use all your fabric, don't you? lol! That yarn is gorgeous! You're right -- creamsicle orange. Yummy!
I like to live on the edge like that. lolol
LOVE the orange yarn! And Jack is so darn irresistable! Love your finish. I haven't seen him before, so please include me in your drawing! Thank you!!!
That is adorable! Great use of the scrap linen! I haven't stiched in years since my beading addiction!!! Count me in please for the pattern-you've inspired me!
The yarn is awesome!!!

I love that BC pumpkin. Please include me in your drawing. I LOVE that orange yarn, too! YUMMY! Thanks
Super cute pattern and you can always sew some fabric to the edge so you can frame it easier.
I'm guessing I wouldn't stitch this one so I'll leave the contest for someone who really can use the chart. It's a great offer.
Always scary when you're stitching on the "Cutting Edge" so to speak! Glad it worked out.
What a pretty shade of orange.....I love the pumpkin....please include me in the drawing. I will also pass it on if I should be the lucky one.
So cute! I don't think I've noticed this one before. I'd love to be included in your drawing.
I love orange. I didn't use to love it until I realized, hey, it's a good color for me depending on the shade. The yarn is dreamy!
Oooooooo~~~~ This Jack o Lantern is too darn cute!!!! Please in clue me in the draw, thanks!!!!!
Love that orange yarn, by the way, it is a very pretty shade~
Cute, cute, cute! I love it Bent Creek charts and I know I don't have this one...yet! Please include me in your drawing.

Such a cute finish, Melanie--I love that tiny cat perched on top of the pumpkin. I'd love to have a chance to win the chart :)
Oh...I love orange too! Great new finish....have this one just languishing in the "one day I will stitch it" pile!
Yours make me want to pull it now! happy stitching....
Oh my gosh .... that is the cutest pattern! I'd love to get a chance at it.

The sock yarn is very pretty too. Do you have a pattern picked out for it?
Estoy siguiendo tu blog, serias tan amable de avisar cuando hagas nuevas bolas de navidad, o puedes hacer por encargo???
LOVE the new sock color and LOVE your new finish! Both are perfect for me ;o)
I would like my name in the pot for the pattern if you don't mind Melanie. For some reason I don't have that one... Thanks :o)
Love Jack - Halloween is my favorite holiday! That looks like a great pattern. Awesome sock yarn.
Melaine, what an adorable finish! I'd love to inherit that chart!
That is so funny -- I just made Halloween earrings yesterday!
