Be sure to double check the required amounts before you place your order. I think I did that 20 times before I finally clicked "Send" on my order. :lol:

I chose the lightest color for my main color, so the other colors would stand out as contrasts.

I am so hesitant to buy any yarn until I have some idea of what the final project will look like; have made too many costly mistakes in the past KAL/CAL.

Brilliant suggestion to pick colors and then "study" them for a day or two. XLNT! :bravo:

I know! Isn't it scary? That's the fun of a "mystery" KAL/CAL. You don't know what you're gonna get.

But, I think this time will be a lot easier, since we have that wonderful help from the Waverly interior designers. Those 4 themes are mistake-proof. ;)

I am sure that all of our blankets will be GORGEOUS in those beautiful Waverly colors. :cloud9:

Re: Having problem with color choice

Postby SuperSab » Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:33 pm

I'm having tons of difficulty picking colors! The drapes in our living room are a nice deep maroon and the sofas are chocolate brown.

I'm thinking of:

Cadet (4)
Sundrift (3)
Incense (3)
Antique (3)
Turtle Green (2)

I can't quite tell if the Antique is more grey or brown. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of using Cadet as the main color, although I keep debating using the sundrift instead...
