Decisions Decisions

I did another swatch with my new yarn colors. Since it’s the same yarn I didn’t do the full 100 stitch swatch again. I did one repetition of each cable plus 10 of my filler stitch (52 stitches total.) Here it is:



Why are cats so fascinated by knitting? Here’s Louie giving my new swatch a “cat” scan (sorry, I couldn’t resist that one!):



I love the fuchsia, but I'm going to use the violet for this sweater. It just shows the cables better. I have no doubt that I'll use the fuchsia in the future though. It's absolutely gorgeous!

Now on to those saddles.... :-)

I love both colors but the violet is a good choice for the FLAK. Now I have to catch up and do my saddles!

You are right, the violet really makes the cable stand out! Fuccia is one of my favourite colours too. Maria.

Sarah - I love 'em both. I'm not sure I could pick one over the other. ...But I liked the grey as well. I'm doing mine in..I think it was called mocha grey in the Peruvian/Elann. I think the grey looked great also. Perhaps one in each color!!!

Wow, what an interesting experiment. The 2 are so very different in texture. They look great.
