CW2, Colors, Take 2
Okay, it looks like options 1 and 3 were the winners (since 2 and 4 got a whopping one vote each…). However, I’ve gotten some alternate suggestions!
So, to refresh:
Option 1
Peaseblossom, Sherbet, Rhodonite, Firebird, Fire on the Mountain
Option 3
Peaseblossom, Sherbet, Rhodonite, Knitty Rocks, Fire on the Mountain
The new options:
Option 5
Titania, Peaseblossom, Rhodonite, Knitty Rocks, Fire on the Mountain
Option 6
Knitty Rocks, Peaseblossom, Rhodonite, Firebird, Fire on the Mountain
Option 7
Peaseblossom, Rhodonite, Firebird, Fire on the Mountain, Titania
More thoughts?(And yes, there will still be yarn pr0n, it just might not be until sometime Friday afternoon)

hmmm, I like 3.

My favorite is Six. I really like the Knitty Rocks as the top and the Fire on the Mountainon the bottom.

I also like the third option. I like the brightness of the colors, and that none of the similar ones are together. I think putting really similar ones (like Peaseblossom and Rhodonite) next to each other will result in a big pooling of that pink/mulberry color in a mass of lots and lots of other colors.

I still like 1!

#1. It would have been #5, except I find myself disliking the “Knitty Rocks” skein, in spite of it’s name. If you created an option #8, replacing that skein with Sherbet, maybe?
I’m no help, am I.

I like the Knitty Rocks colorway on its own, but my eye jumps directly to that skein in the middle three options. It interrupts the flow.
I still vote for #1! It has the best zen.

#7? But I’m color deaf (I can’t think of the word–but it’s like being tune-deaf).
September 7th, 2007 at 7:56 am
OOOOH!!! I like Option 7! And 6. But otherwise, 1. So helpful, aren’t I?
September 7th, 2007 at 8:28 am
Thanks for laying out my colors!
Now that I see them – I like #7. It’s doing what you want – darkest at the bottom of the shawl.

P.S. – Now I’m thinking bout a STR CW too! Darn you! (just about to color 4 on mine!)

First, I’m baffles that you have so much of Socks that Rock… My favourite combos are 5 and 7 because you have brighter colours in the middle.
September 7th, 2007 at 9:49 am
I like #1, but the orange of the sherbet is way too bright, if it’s not as bright and prominate in person then…
But I also like 7 just as much.
So if you’re going for bright then 1, if you want to be just a little more muted then 7 is my vote
September 7th, 2007 at 11:23 am
My vote is for option 6. I find the sherbet a bit jarring (but maybe you think that’s in a good way?).
Woe, to have all that STR to play with!

I still like #3, but I’m not afraid of bright orange highlights. I think the brights in “knitty rocks” balances out the brights in “sherbet”. None of the new choices really jump out at me as ‘the one’. They’re all nice.
September 7th, 2007 at 11:39 am
my favorite is still 1 but 7 is a close second. I say 1 should win because your first shawl was already a little darker and muted and 1 will be a good contrast to that shawl.
September 7th, 2007 at 1:32 pm
I vote for option one – the colours flow so nicely!
September 7th, 2007 at 1:34 pm
ummm…I meant to vote yesterday and forgot…but I say 3 which is what I was going to say yesterday.
September 7th, 2007 at 3:34 pm
7, but they are all lovely! And 1 is my second choice
September 7th, 2007 at 5:03 pm
hmmm….i like 6 and 7….
September 8th, 2007 at 1:49 am
Oh boy, a decision like this would make me crazy. The combos that grabbed me were #1 (bright) and #7 (more muted)
