This project, Find Your Fade, is eating my lunch! This should not be taking so much of my time.
Remember last week, I had absolutely, positively, no turning back decided on this combination. I was so sure that I wound all the yarn so I could get started.
Find Your Fade Yarns
I couldn’t stop thinking about the yarn so yesterday I got it all out and played with it again and came up with this possibility.

That left side was still bothering me so I kept digging and came up with this possibility.

I’m still not sure it’s right but this is the closest I’ve come to loving it. I have one more yarn according to my spreadsheet, that might work in place of the third from the right yarn but so far, I haven’t found it.
And look at that . . all seven skeins would have to be wound. I think I’ll wind them as I need them! I think I’ll stop overthinking this and start knitting. What do you think? 🙂

I like the last group a lot except for the dark blue on the end. Try a lighter more turquoise, possibility the second on the left in your first picture.
Karen Sutton says
Judy, I really like your latest choice. I think the really dark yarn in the first one was too dark – at least for me. Now I’ve got to dive the stash too – I love that shawl.
Teri Jordan says
I really love the last one….I went to the pictures of the shawl and the sample has a dark color on the end….I think if you don’t have a big contrast it will all blend in together…..

Start knitting, girl! 😉

i’m primarily a weaver but sometime making a decision on color is the hardest part of any project. i prefer the last photo for what it’s worth. easy slide from one color to the next.

I think that third from the right is perfect to transition from the blue and green to the pinks- Go for it.
Joyce says
I was going to comment that I think you are over-thinking it, and then I got to your last sentence…it’s time to just dive in…
dezertsuz says
Yep, just start. The first one is a lovely combination, the last one is lovely, and so’s the one in the middle. -=)
Bev Gunn says
You can always start with the ones you KNOW you like and are going to use while still searching for the hidden skein! At least there would be progress!

I so far behind on my projects I wasn’t even tempted! I like your last set the bet but yes. Stop over thinking and start knitting!!!!!

Have you started yet?
It is a lot of fun playing with the colors, but that won’t giterdun. I love that last picture; the colors really do blend (as I always tried to do on “Blooming Nine-Patch” quilts), except for the very pretty blue on the right. How about the 2nd or 3rd yarn in the first picture there? (Advantage…pre-wound!)
