Afghan Knitalong – Color Selection Part Two

I don’t know about you, but I continue to dither over my Afghan Knitalong colors!  So since we at Universal Yarn have a warehouse full of gorgeous Uptown Worsted at our fingertips, our staff put together Amy Gunderson’s other three color selections to see how they struck our fancy.

Afghan Knitalong - Be GreenI am torn between Rocky Shore (from the last afghan color post) and Be Green.  They’re both muted and adult, and both would look great draped over my couch.

Afghan Knitalong Cupcake Parade

Cupcake Parade is the colorway that Amy is using in her afghan.  Swatches and video demos will mostly feature this group of colors.

Afghan Knigalong Proud Colors

Bright primaries reminiscent of a rainbow or the colors in a crayon box.  Gorgeous.

I’m  considering doing Be Green, but in blue, substituting 318 Navy for the Hunter Green and  a couple of lighter blues for the other two tones.  Uptown Worsted has plenty of color options to choose from, so I think I can find something that will work well.  We knitters are creative folks; we’re not obligated to follow the pack or color within the lines.

The first square goes live on Monday.  We’ll have the pattern, as well as a video tutorial on the technique used in our first square – intarsia!
