the reason i'm telling you this is because i need your input on something. i've been going back and forth for the last few hours (between working) trying to decide what colors to choose for the project. now usually, i have no problem picking colors - its all fairly intuitive, and usually after a few seconds of staring at the color card, i'm positive that i've made the best decision. unfortunately, the heilo color card is just too good. too many good colors. too many slight variations. too many options. not to mention i'm completely and utterly braindead from work anyway. so... i need your help. I've come up with a few options, and I'd love to hear your comments/thoughts on what you think would work.
option B is the most 'representative' of my usual preferences, but i thought maybe i'd try something different... although i'm definitely not ruling option B out... those colors rock. if you have a chance (and an opinion) i would love to hear what you think....
cast your vote now!
I'd vote for E first, with B as a close second. The reason being is the contrast. That pattern would look great with a decent amount of contrast. Also, keep in mind that the colors will tend to blend a bit, visually, in the smaller-detailed areas. E is a bold contrast, and B is softer. The others seems dull in their presented colorations.
ReplyDeleteI agree. My first choice was B until I looked a little closer at the pattern. So I say E with C being my second choice.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about all the work. I have been under the same gun myself. I have been looking forward to a slow down for a few weeks, but it's just not happening. But that's also more yarn money!
I like b the best, but if you're trying to go away from your normal choices I like c. It'll be fun to see how it turns out, whatever you choose.
ReplyDeleteI like d. I don't know why...I just do. I love that pattern, I have seen someone else knit it somewhere out there and keep eyeing that kit. I just may be knitting along with you! Oh, I didn't do a provisional cast on for the current komi mitten. I decided against it...I just don't think I could bring myself to knit the boring ribbing AFTER knitting the komi pattern! So I knit the ribbing...knowing that I would soon get to the "fun" part of the mitt!
ReplyDeleteI like C, with A as a subtler runner-up. B and E match your blog theme better, though.
ReplyDeletei like e the best with b in second place. can't wait to see it, whatever you choose.
ReplyDeleteI like B! =)
ReplyDeleteI like A! I'm really tempted to knit that hat too, so I'll be watching your progress. :-)
ReplyDeleteIf you want to try something different I'd pick A.
ReplyDeleteI like A and D the best. Can't wait to see what you decide!
ReplyDeleteWell, if you want something really different opt for C. If you just want to be a little different, than go for the clearer colors of B which is E I think. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
I'd go with e...it's similar to your usual preference, but much brighter. Perfect Spring colors!
ReplyDeleteMy favs are b and c... :-) They'd all work beautifully though.
ReplyDeleteI like D and B the best, for contrasty reasons. Those are some beautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteMy vote goes to b and then c.
ReplyDeletePretty pretty.
Well, wouldn't it depend on what you'll be making out of the yarn?
ReplyDeleteB!!B!!B!!
ReplyDeleteI'd say B too, with E as a runner up! Good jobbie, and greetings from Fourth Street.
ReplyDeleteI love c!!!
