Well, the Dockside cardigan is moving along fine. The fronts are blocked without incident and the sleeves are started as well. Since I don’t really have to do any thinking about that, my mind is wandering to upcoming projects.
I also don’t have to think about the very next projects – that is going to be my Sharkbite 3D socks and the Niazuma sweater, which I am doing in very dark gray.
After that, though, is going to be Free to Fly, which I do need to think about. It is fingering weight, which I don’t really have sweater quantities of. I did look at some yarn combinations from stash that I could possibly do as a fade with the birds in a contrasting color. Or possibly I will just get a nice tonal yarn from Knit Picks and go with it. I am really stuck. Here are the skein combinations I am thinking about. Opinions? Please share 🙂
Quite A Yarn 
Haha! It took me a second to figure out the connection of the post to the title! Well…all the yarn combinations are beautiful and colors are sometimes hard to do on the ocmputer, but for what it’s worth, I think I like the top middle set.

I think a gradient with variegated yarns will make it a challenge to see the birds clearly, so for me it would be the top left or bottom middle with a pale grey or white birdies…but now I’m wondering if I’m bias because I’m not keen on orange….hmm I’d knit a swatch with one bird on the variegated yarn to check I think…or buy new wool.

That is a good point! New yarn is still very much a possibility 🙂

I like all the yarn combinations but I think for that sweater the best are the two without the orange/pink. But still I say pick what you love best:)

I’d say #2 or #6, they will provide the best contrast. Try looking at the options in mono to see how much contrast the combos give you. Love the color choices.

I like the bottom middle and bottom right sets. If I’m being honest, I like them all, but those two stick out more to me. I’ve never done a fade and I’m very intimidated by them.

Filomena and golden beauty with the dark blue(?) Would be my choice. But then, I guess it depends on if you want the birds light or dark. Good luck

I like the bottom left combo most, but they do all look lovely together so I don’t think you can go wrong.
