Skein Lots
Posted on Saturday, January 10th, 2009 at 5:33 pmWhat do you think of an orange-and-green checkered blanket?
I've recently started knitting a 24-block quilt, in hopes of selling it (or perhaps giving it to a friend, should the occasion present itself). I have two 16 oz. skeins of yarn, one bright orange, one light green. Both colors are almost fluorescent (except they don't really "glow"). The blanket, according to this color combination, would be about 4" by 6".
Can you visualize that color combination "working"? I have a couple of friends who would LOVE it, but I have a feeling I should get more input before I go ahead with the rest of the problem.
I could pick some other color to go with either green or orange, or both (my sister suggested brown), but then I would have to go out and buy more yarn. A lot more. 
So.... your take? Keep the orange and green, or try another color combination?
Thanks!
project! I meant to write "rest of the project," not "rest of the problem." Whoops.
DEFINETELY keep it the way it is..I personally love those colors!
