The Professor is dealing with little bits of that too.

The main thing though would be to consider that if its bothering you now it will probably keep bothering and then might make you want to wear the sweater you loved and wanted so badly far less then you would if it looked just right to you. So get the iris and see how it looks against the other colors and compare how you feel about that if you cover the light blue with strands of iris.<br /><br />The forest canopy looks lovely and I love your new stash acquisitions.Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11858229995977474385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-47526483224972864982009-08-18T09:55:38.033-07:002009-08-18T09:55:38.033-07:00I've been eyeing that forest canopy pattern fo...I've been eyeing that forest canopy pattern for a while now...

I have all the time in the world, and blogging is just slow at the moment. It will come back when it's ready.<br /><br />Fall classes already? Ick! That's just too soon. I'm glad that I'm not teaching this year (and I never thought I'd say that)! <br /><br />I don't know about the colors. I really like the light blue (perhaps even better than the purple), but maybe not next to the brown? Dunno. I vote for more dithering and yarn petting. =)EGunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941668303286640744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-64264053728384743172009-08-18T06:28:33.592-07:002009-08-18T06:28:33.592-07:00ooh, your forest shawl is gorgeous! that sundara ...ooh, your forest shawl is gorgeous! that sundara yarn is so lovely, I ordered some of the fingering silky in one of those colorways that doesn't ship for months and I really would love to have it now!!<br /><br />The beads are very petty on there, a nice subtle ending.

The light blue takes it to the funky, not a bad thing unless that isn't what you want. The iris takes it to smooth and comfortable.<br /><br />I wonder if your craving for comfort knitting isn't just expressing itself in simplicity of knit, but of color combination, too. Not a bad thing, either.<br /><br />By the way, the beads just glow when you embiggen the photo.
