I am not completely sold on whether I like the incense or if Porcelain red would be better.


I havn't seen the incense, but I adore Porcelain red! :cloud9:

I decided the incense would work better. Of course as soon as I bought the yarn, I fell behind. During clue #3 I was having a horrible week at work, and every time I tried to crochet my gauge was way off and I got frustrated.

I finished off clue #4 Saturday morning and will get back to #3. Then I will get on to afghan #2.

I'd love to read or better yet see your colour combination. I'll try to post mine once I figure out adding pictures.

So here's what I chose.
Antique-Main Colour
Tibetan Red - A
Willow - B
Stone Brown - C
Classic Navy - D

I was thrilled to see the flower in the red but now I'm wishing I'd chosen a colour for the main instead of Antique. Clue 5 seems like it is boring in Antique.

Tried to attach a file but it's too big.

I'm amazed how well everyone's colors are coming together. I really had doubts when I was making my selections. I think I would have made different selections knowing how things now look but I'm still very happy. Everyone is doing such a great job!
:bravo:
