and so it continued
another attempt last week with 2 different skeins of koigu instead of str. long since frogged, but i look at the picture now and wonder why i did that, i kinda like it now (oh wait, i remember i liked it, but wanted more distinction between the 2 colorways).
then moved on to a mix of str (i have been using lightweight) and koigu
bad picture, but this is frogged now too.
after a week of attempts at finding the combo that really called out to me i have given up. i have now moved on to a table runner in completely different yarn, but using the feather and fan pattern still. oh well. i tried, and realized i am just so picky.
sorry i have been mia too, i got sick again and am still congested. i can almost guarantee this is another ear and sinus infection. fun!

Aww, feel better Amy! The scarf colors are incredible!
These spring colds are no fun!
Both of those colors look great! At some point, you will have to commit ; )

I know what you mean about the colours, from looking at others it almost seems like you need two colours that don't match. I hope you feel better soon.
Beautiful colors on your scarf. Hope you feel better.
Hope you start feeling better! What you need is a 3 day trip to Packwood to join us for our "Fiber Weekend" May 4-6. Can you join us? I can't remember if you said yes or no before.

I had forgotten how beautiful Koigu is... the scarf is amazing. I think you could use any color combination of that yarn and it would be incredible.
Sorry to hear you were sick! I really like the colors even though you completely frogged. It has to speak to you so maybe you just need a break from it. Your table runner is looking good! It was nice to see you on Thursday night!
Glad you're feeling better! And an overdue thanks for the engagement wishes - we couldn't be happier!
I love the first collection of colors - looks like willy wonka meets spring!
I am using two Koigu colorways for my Chevron scarf... check it out at my blog. (I'll try to post the lastest pic of it in my WIPs page today)
I have to say some of your combinations are really great.. but the one that sticks in my mind is the sherbert and watermelon tourmaline one? Why? Not sure... I want to make one in that combination though! At first I thought WOW - that's bright.. but hey.. Summer is a comin' and it might be cool!
I don't think they have sherbert any longer in STR... wanna swap with me for something? LOL!?
Hope you are feleing better.
I think those are very spring/Easter colors.
I'm looking forward to seeing the table runner. I've wanted to make one, but just haven't figured out what I want yet.
Feel Better! I really did like that first combination....but looking forward to seeing the table runner.
I really like the last set, in the springy colors. I also like the bright colors as well.
What if you used a solid (or mostly solid) with one of the handpainted yarns?
I'm super slow on the uptake here, but I thought it would be worth saying that I also frogged the chevron scarf at least two times (maybe more like three or four) before settling on the colors I have now. So, you are not alone.
Cheers!
