Well, if everyone's sharing their colors, I wanna share mine too!
I'm not sure whether I really really love it or it's too many different colors and it's gonna end up a mess.

Here are most of my squares, laid out together. I'm wondering if I should switch to Sundrift instead of Butter. I think it might look better with the group.

That looks so nice all laid out together!Clues 1 - 4 by Shandeh, on Flickr

hmm I see what you mean about the butter...., but the butter and the blue do contrast each other nicely (opposite ends of the colour wheel). I am working with sundrift and my friend is doing her whole CAL blanket with sundrift. It is not as soft as the other Bernat Waverly colours. I'm not sure why I'm putting my two cents in since I have such a difficult time making decisions!! heehee. Maybe another pale pink?

No way it's going to be a mess. Very nice choices I'm a little behind, when I catch up I will post my colours too. (They are rather on the safe side and go together nicely really.... but my KAL is another story! )

This hampers my progress!
Other than that Clue #4 is going well for me after I figured it out. Pictures you are all posting are looking great!!

*THAT* looks like it belongs in the "Today I hate knitting" thread

Sorry, had to laugh but only because I've been there and knit the t-shirt with it1

It is my feeling the pros know what they are doing when they put the 7 colours into a family, so if we want the most eye pleasing results we should lean towards their advice and knowledge when in doubt.

Oh see now .. I stuck with the professional advice and bought the Butter to go with the family colours of Greek Sea, Birch White, Aqua Frost and Colonial Beige .. but then I didn't like it! I was aiming for a soft beachy/seaside look and I thought the Butter just stood out in an uncomfortable, colour blind way. So I switched to the Sundrift and to me, it fit in more.

Now as I look at the pictures I'm wondering if I should have stuck with the Butter You can see the difference between the Butter and Sundrift in these comparison photos. I'd love to hear what others think about this colour combination. If I switch back to the Butter I'll have to redo all of Clue 3, which was the one clue I hated most, grrr!

I'm making this as a surprise for my Sister and I want it to be gorgeous so I'm willing if it's necessary. It was hard to get proper colour in the pics. It's too dark for no flash but the flash washed out the colours completely so this is the best I could get.

Mz. Molly: I really like the Sundrift combination. I think it is very calming and relaxing, like the beach.
