Also, it will be fun to knit along, as the color will be changing as you go.&nbsp;So: good choice!&nbsp;</p> <p>So did you just decide to ignore the knitting you had done so far, and started over from scratch?&nbsp;</p> <p>This promises to be a wonderful piece of art when you are finished, can't wait to see it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hand-knit-sweater-yarn-a-big-change-in-color#post-1380777 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 12:27:18 +0000 Anonymous 1380777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty yarn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hand-knit-sweater-yarn-a-big-change-in-color#post-1380768 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 12:21:47 +0000 Alassë 1380768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, beautiful colours on a light summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hand-knit-sweater-yarn-a-big-change-in-color#post-1380700 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 10:04:25 +0000 Sharon 1380700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really pretty colours.

The tweedy effect will add some texture to even a simple sweater and jeans outfit.</p> <p>Soft blues like these always make me wish I was a Summer, rather than an Autumn--but I am quite sure that, unlike you, I will not need to make that switch! (I'd offer to take the olive green project off your hands, but we are not the same size. ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hand-knit-sweater-yarn-a-big-change-in-color#post-1380566 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 02:09:05 +0000 abc 1380566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty colors and def a match. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hand-knit-sweater-yarn-a-big-change-in-color#post-1380565 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 02:07:42 +0000 Staysfit 1380565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deb! &nbsp;I was hoping it wouldn't look too murky. &nbsp;My new mantra is LIGHT, cool and soft. &nbsp;I am hoping the blues carry the light through the sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hand-knit-sweater-yarn-a-big-change-in-color#post-1380541 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 01:47:45 +0000 deb 1380541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These colors look good and a tweed will look nice.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hand-knit-sweater-yarn-a-big-change-in-color#post-1380518 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 01:06:06 +0000 Staysfit 1380518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For anyone who recalls, I had started a sweater coat a few months ago. &nbsp;I asked Angie's help to determine if the pattern would work with my body shape. &nbsp;The original color was a warm olive. &nbsp;Not a good choice for my newly discovered light summer coloring. &nbsp;I decided to scrap the original yarn, and pick another. &nbsp;Knowing that I have committed myself to using a certain palate that includes winter white, light gray, the greens from my palate, the reds&nbsp;from my palate, and the blues from my palate, I wanted to limit myself to these colors for now, especially to make things more cohesive and hopefully keep things simple in my closet.</p> <p>The hunt was surprisingly difficult, but I finally found something that seems to work very well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here is the new color. &nbsp;It seems to pull one of the light grays in my palate and almost all of the&nbsp;blues. &nbsp; What do you think? &nbsp;&nbsp;(I plan to use two skeins at once so the sweater doesn't get striped patterns.) &nbsp;</p> <p>Below is the link to the original post.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-knitting-green-cardigan-will-this-type-of-style-work-for-my-body-type">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....style-work</a></p>
