I need help choosing a final color…"},"content":{"rendered":"

I told you that something fun was coming, as I work with Kate Bachus of A Hundred Raven<\/a> yarns to create a kit of colors for knitting the Astoria Sock.\u00a0 I will be posting this weekend on Kate’s process, and the magic that she has made, but today I want to show you what we have so far, and solicit help on selecting the final color.<\/p>\n

To recap, this is the original Astoria sock, knit with Miss Bab’s<\/a> Yummy Toes.<\/p>\n

For the book, I used fewer colors, to limit the number of skeins needed. But every one of the stripes can be knit in a different color, with Annetarsia.\u00a0 And I thought that would be fun.\u00a0 I asked Kate to help me by creating a kit of 8 colors, so that with one kit (totaling 400 yds), a knitter could make a pair of sock with 8 different colored stripes, all coordinated with her stunning colors.<\/p>\n

Kate thought that I had said 7 colors, and sent me this amazing array of colors.<\/p>\n

\"We<\/a>
We need one more color for the 8th stripe. What will it be?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"Annetarsia<\/a> You can imagine how it felt to hold this springtime bouquet and see “Annetarsia on the label!\u00a0 I was over the moon with joy.\u00a0 But, we needed an 8th color.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I e-mailed Kate, and suggested something blue or buttery yellow.<\/p>\n

She sent me some amazing photos of dying yarn, which I will post this weekend as a guest blog.\u00a0 In the meantime, here are photos of the kit with a few of the options she came up with.\u00a0 Which do you think should we choose?\u00a0 Please post your choice in the blog!<\/p>\n
