My first FI mittens I did with an orange solid and a multicolor varigated yarn and you couldn't "see" the solid color at all. I might as well have knit it with the one yarn. <BR/><BR/>Looking at it, the blue you didn't buy does go better with the other yarns but will it hold its own as part of the team? Or cave and blend?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18506844.post-4373759009347991362008-09-11T19:31:00.000-04:002008-09-11T19:31:00.000-04:00Oh! Almost forgot.

Assign one yarn heads and one tails. Flip the coin. Don't look at it. Instead, think about which one you were really pulling for...the heads decision or the tails. That is what your heart really wants. Go from there...Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10183887746169024698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18506844.post-64794406778041028192008-09-11T19:28:00.000-04:002008-09-11T19:28:00.000-04:00ok...because I feel the need to throw in my two ce...ok...because I feel the need to throw in my two cents too...<BR/><BR/>I think that if you are really in love with the blue then I would definitely go with the Marine Heather. But I think that the brighter blue (was it called Pool?) is still a little brighter than the rest of the muted palate colors if you want it to blend.<BR/><BR/>Just to confuse the issue more...if however you want to use the brighter blue as an accent it would be stupendous!<BR/><BR/>Truthfully I'm just knitpicking (HA! I couldn't resist! I'm such a dork!) though because I think no matter what you choose to use it will turn out looking great.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10183887746169024698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18506844.post-62152084905529269882008-09-11T15:58:00.000-04:002008-09-11T15:58:00.000-04:00Oh, the Ivy League vest?

Or at all actually. <BR/><BR/>There's my disclaimer for the inevitable opinion coming your way because I just can't help myself.<BR/><BR/>I like the newer color better and I agree with the previous comment-ors who said that the blue in the first photo pops too much.

Then again, I missed out on the whole discussion because I was overwhelmed by Bloglines when I came back. I'm not familiar with the pattern, are the bottom three colors supposed to be close or is that just what you picked?Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16846943673211958259noreply@blogger.com
