Today was yarn day again. The yarn for my now CAL came. I really love the turtle green. It exactly my favorite shade of green. The other colors will be stone brown as main, with incense, Irish moss and colonial beige. I will probably keep this one for myself.

I want to brighten it up a bit, so I am doing the CAL in the following colors: A: Gypsy Gold, B: Bark, C: Turtle Green, D: Stone Brown, E: Porcelain Red

For my living room, I have a tapestry sofa with brocade in dark red, beige, black, taupe. I also have a large leather chair and ottoman that will get the KAL afghan on it in the following colors: A: Incense, B: Sun Drift, C: Bark, D: Celadon (coordinates with the family room, and this chair is visible from there), E: Black


Interesting choices! They both offer nice, rich coloring.


I love the choices for your living room. If I decide to do a second I may have to copy your colors!

You can't possibly be the most indecisive person, because I am! Choosing yarn color is always a HUGE decision for me. And I even second guess myself once I start knitting - it's terrible! Let's hope I like my combo that's sitting here waiting for the first KAL clue!
