It took me a few hours but I finally came up with my colours:

This combo should match most of my living room. I'm excited to see it all put together!

Okay, I'm taking the plunge... 1st time I've ever done anything like this ( CAL, Crochet Forum, etc.). I am SUPER excited though & I think this will be a fun project!

I just bought my yarn, so now I'm totally committed.
Main Color- Irish Moss
Accent Colors- Birch White
Bitter Rose
Porcelein Red
Pink Suede

I am really looking forward to this experience & only slightly scared/ freaking out!

I only found out about the last CAL near the end and have been waiting for a new one to start. My 11 yr old daughter helped me pick out colours this afternoon and I ordered them right away - otherwise I might change my mind a dozen times.

MC - Willow
A - Pink Suede
B - Porcelain Red
C - Incense
D - Sundrift

Now I guess I should finish up some WIPs. I also joined a sock club that starts around the same time. So many great things to look forward to!

I did it had to force myself to quit looking at the colors since each time I did starting trying new ones... so I bit the bullet, got it over it, and order my colors. Now I can relax (not really cause now I am too anxious to start) and be ready. Is it time yetttttt??????? lol

I just love seeing everyone's color combinations!

I can't wait to see all the blankets being created with all the lovely colors of yarn.

After reading through this thread, I think I may just go with one color since it was mentioned that for the crochet version, this would work!! Now to decide which one color I want!

My living room is also in shades of brown. I love the calmness and richness of this look. I chose the following colors for my afghan:

Main Color: 55615 Sundrift
Contast A: 55145 Blue Gown
Contrast B: 55014 Stone Brown
Contrast C: 55101 Colonial Beige
Contrast D: 55530 Tibetan Red

To mind mind (with some help from the color tutorial) these colors will coordinate with the room, but also add a spark of spice. Does anyone agree? Disagree?
