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  Rolling Eyes -  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?   Very Happy



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?  Rolling Eyes Sorry  Sad

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?!

Wink

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 Wink - but it could knit up sort of camouflagy iyswim - not what you'd want with a target is it really, camouflage Laughing

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.
