|
|
I saw the Target Practice socks on Knitty today and I'm itching to cast on. But, not a decisive day for me, can't choose a yarn - help?
I've got it down to these five. But I can't decide whether to go for something with a wider range of colours (the top three here) or something that's more subtle (the bottom three). Let alone which to choose from there! Help me choose, pleeeeeeaaasse?
Top row, L to R - Yarn Yard Wheelie Bin (I think), Fyberspates Dream Yarn Grenada and another Yarn Yard, unnamed.
Bottom row, L to R - Cherry Tree Hill Caribou Creek and Indie Dyer Nightshade.
Bum, should've done this as a poll shouldn't I? Sorry

I'd go for the one in the middle on the top row...I can just see the circle bit looking like a blazing summer sun! _________________

I was looking at the pattern for those yesterday they look cool! I'd personally go for something a bit more subtle - the bottom left one is lovely.
So far we're not helping are we?! _________________ Claire

Edited cos of pesky KLB 4 replies, 3 for the same thing now  _________________

It's just my preference for things a bit more reddy/pinky I guess! _________________

Wheelie Bin became a FCS for me - now there's a surprise - but it could knit up sort of camouflagy iyswim - not what you'd want with a target is it really, camouflage
Just to be awkward - I'm with Linz. But then I couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo, so I'd need a nice bright target.
eta pretty cool socks aren't they. _________________
