One of you recently asked us to put a few color ideas together for the upcoming 24 Birds Curious Handmade Mystery Knitalong, and I thought I would share them with you. I adore Helen Stewarts designs, so while I'm not much a mystery knitter, her designs speak to be enough that I might actually participate if I had more time this month. Heather put together a few color ideas, should you be interested in the same.
These all use Mechita, but you could go with any fingering weight yarn. Of course, if there are colors you like in Malabrigo or other yarns and you'd like a bit of help putting together more that go with them, we're always happy to help. Just email me, Allison, at [email protected]. Here are the colors Heather (our shop manager) liked together - three tonals/speckled colors with one pop:
341 Neverland
367 Aurora
343 Legend
048 Glitter as the pop

083 Water Green
363 Pascal
346 Fiona
142 Caramel as the pop

704 Ivory
398 Rosalinda
689 Valentina
013 Oro as the pop

If you click on the links above, I think you'll agree that Heather did a superb job in putting together four colors for this project. We have some great tonal hues in Emma's Yarn and Tosh Merino Light as well. Of course, we're always here to help with other ideas too! We're pretty darn great at being your personal shoppers from afar!
Agree, Heather did a great job with the colors. I'm debating whether to do the full Pi shawl or a half pi one. Primarily - do I want to purl this or not? Using LITLG from you, of course!
