messin with color

Color decisions can be so hard to make. It's especially difficult when buying online, but even right up close, the perfect color is not always obvious. I spent a bit of last weekend thinking about color choices, and I plan to spend a bit of this weekend implementing them. I'm dragging my feet.

Hancocks of Paducah carries the whole line of kona cottons, which is awesome, but I'll be darned if I can tell what the color will look like from the little online swatch. You know what they have for that very reason? A color card! It's so cool. I feel like I have the key to all colors ever of fabric. Sorta. I think the kona is missing some subtle blues, greens, and grays, but I hear Amy Butler is going to do solids and that should fill in the gaps.

This last bit o'color is for the little glass-front cabinet where I'm going to keep my yarn. I hope it works out. I was going for mustard-marigold, and I hope I don't end up with something too sunshine.
