Colour Me Herringbone

Quick Poll:

I've been toying with the idea of creating a herringbone sweater, with gradual colour changes throughout.

I have a couple choices in colour families to utilize, seen individually in the pictures below.

Which do you prefer?

    I LOVE the greens you've picked. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

    Ooh, I can't WAIT to see more of this. Of course, I can never resist green, but the orange and red tones look very you.

    I'd normally go for orange/yellow/red colour combo, but if you're looking for some gradual colour change, then the green combo is the one. Looks really great.

    Greens for your coloring.

    I think the greens would look fantastic! The color changes would also be more subtle and look more like traditional herringbone, IMO.

    Green is my all time favourite but besides that I think for the effect you are looking for that the green would be the better choice - can't wait for the pattern :-)

    They're both beautiful, but the mix of yellow with the reds is just too pretty to pass up. Whichever you choose, it'll be stunning!

    I definitely like the greens. That said the oranges/yellows/reds are gorgeous too!

    (in other words, I am no help whatsoever)

    I think the greens will work the best. The colors of all your choices are beautiful.

    At first glance, I was leaning towards the greens. But after looking at the pictures a little more, I'd say go with the multi-colors! They remind me of a sweater that my grandma knit for my grandfather.

    the greens (but it's all green all the time for me, so maybe I'm not the best voice to shout out)
