I love all the changing colours of fall right now. An evergreen, red and gold would be great.

[Karen Pettyjohn]

Jewel tones with black, blue & orange for Boise State University, pin stripes or the winter combo of silver blue/blue/white, neons with black.

[Laura]

I love dark charcoal with bright colors!

[jeanne]

Red and grey - my high school colors - would be great.

Rainbow colors, that weren't two skeins knit together.

purple and chartreuse. The purple would have to be dark, to make the chartreuse pop.

[Kat]

Tonals would be great. I'd also love grays mixed with other colors. True rainbow stripes in 1 skein. Robins egg blue with a blurple. What about stripes of varying sizes? Like 5 rows Robins egg blue, 2 rows gray, 5 rows blurple, 2 rows gray, etc. An icy color combo of different blue and silver/grays. Anything with blues and purples!

[Debbie H]

I would love aqua, yellow and white. Thanks!

[DanaRT]

Chocolate, light blue with cream and Cynthia's suggestion chocolate, buttery yellow and bright green. Also, gray, navy and bright green.

[Barb T.]

I love college towns--Go Badgers--but I really love gray with any color, so gray/yellow, gray/pink, etc., and let's not forget light and dark gray!

[Candi]

I go nuts for anything ombre. I would love to have stripes of one color that lighten or darken as I knit. Come to think of it, it would be fun to have a pair of socks where the darkest stripe is at the cuff of one sock and the lightest stripe is as the cuff of the other.

[judy kimbrell]

How about leaf colors. Red orange yello and green
Judy

[katie]

blue and red

[Stephanie V]

Grays with yellow in tonal stripes. Or tonal striping in brown, gray and something peach-y. Then again, I am a sucker for purples with grays. I seem to like gray a lot LOL

[Rhonda Atkinson]

I would like to see jewel tones. Love the deep emeralds, dark reds, dark blues.

[kimber]

I love the idea of a vintage type colorway, like weathered barn red, blue and cream with almost tweed like look. I would also like to see grey stripes, a chunky grey stripe with a skinny stripe of a vibrant color like rich velvety purples and dark reds, royal blue and emerald green for just a pop of color in between the grey. I also really love the effect of the stripes having a almost ombré effect, the grey going from dark to light to dark and then say the purple starting dark to washing into a light lilac and back to dark all within each stripe. I imagine I would be a dangerous mad scientist if I was set loose with some yarn and dye!

[Brenna]

How about Greys with other colors. You could do manly colors. Grey/brown, grey/green, grey/ navy, grey/burnt orange. Boy stripeys!

[Elaine]

Bright tonals. Stripes of purple and orange or lavender and peach. Fuschia and hot pink stripes.

[Peggy Voeller]

Green and gold (packer fan) a green with red/blue/yellow to resemble lights on a tree, silver (with bling would be even better) to resemble winter colors (I am making things for a winter wedding and this color scheme is not easy to find) a bright purple,bright green and black... I could go on for days !

[Patty McDonald]

NFL team colors! Go Chargers! And I really like the idea of tonals in birth stone colors!

[Merry Thornsburg]

Purple and turquoise!
Aqua and hot green

[Susan Ipavec]

Mint green/browns/cream, and pastel blends.

[Elizabeth]

Tonals in beautiful sea glass colors would awesome! Blues, Greens,purple.
I am also A fan of IU team colors!
Pink and gray.
Can we say "all of the above"!

[Cathy B.]

Tonal stripes that are of minimal contrast. At the moment, I'm feeling like greys/beiges/brown.

[Sue]

How about some gradient stripes? Endless possibilities there...

[Jean Y]

I would think that shades of blue with gray would be nice; or some varieties of green with a merlot...

[Rudi O]

I love the idea of tonal colors with grays, a cool gray with navy, mid, & light blues and a pop of electric blue to give it some lift!

[Jan]

I have to vote for red, white, and blue, being the patriotic American that I am! I like to knit for TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for
Survivors), and they appreciate the patriotic colors. Thanks for the contest!

[Lisa Barrett]

I love greys, all shades of it. I think two greys paired with a silvery tone are very elegant. I also am partial to a rich chocolate, blue (maybe ice blue?) and cream.

[Tara]

I love the idea of ombré colors, but I also think striped bright colors with a black over-wash would be gorgeous too.

[Elaine]

The colors of my wedding. Raspberry, blue and purple.
Also, love bright tonals.

[Essjay]

Some ideas:
- gray with colors
- spring crocus stripes, like purple, yellow, white
- beachy stripes

[ikkinlala]

I'd like a black/gray/white combo.

[Kristi]

I would love to see semisolid stripes (tonal variation in each stripe).

And I think a beautiful color combo is navy, lavender, and magenta.

[Larissa]

Tonal stripes in shades of orange! That would be too cool.
