Current Progress 4-6-07

KarenGloveKAL4-6-07
Here's the progress of my first glove. It is a much easier knit than I anticipated and I'm really enjoying it!

And, below is the yarn that I have chosen for my planned 2nd pair of these gloves:

Glove KAL Pair 2
This is Mountain Colors Barefoot sock yarn in the colorways Goldrush and Spruce.

Please let me know your thoughts on my glove progress, so far, and the yarn color combination for my planned second pair.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Colors?


Here's a picture of my current color combo consideration. On the left is the Colinette Jitterbug Florentina colorway and on the right is Opal in a periwinkle color. The picture doesn't represent the true colors, but it's fairly close. And, there is a little bit of periwinkle color in the Florentina colorway.

I did a little ribbing swatch.

Could you give me your honest opinions about this color combination as a possibility for the gloves? Also, the Opal sock yarn is a bit thinner than the Jitterbug. I believe Karen said her yarn choices for her teal gloves were of different thicknesses, so hopefully this isn't a problem.

Kathy, how is your color choosing going today?

Thanks so much!
