jessicali Posted July 29, 2011 Out of all of the colors of yarn, is there a color that you absolutely do not like working with? -------------------------------- I think mine would be black. It's so hard for me to see! It looks fine when I'm finished with the project, BUT while using it & working on the project, I find it difficult to use.

RoseRed Posted July 29, 2011 One solid color - no but 2 opposing colors in close proximity I can't do. I get dizzy and headaches from trying to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bailey4 Posted July 29, 2011 I end up using lots of black and it can be challenging. I find dark brown harder than black for some reason and I use that quite a bit for toys, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milkyway Posted July 29, 2011 I don't like using black. But I did a baby afghan in RH Fiesta Rust ( like a rusty red that I hated. I usually do variegated yarns, as I like different pooling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katyallen8090 Posted July 29, 2011 black, and brown, but use both, as there is no substitute for either, lol. I don't work with them at night though, too tough on the eyes! same with Navy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Titus2woman Posted July 29, 2011 That RH Monet. Just not my fave! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CraftyZone Posted July 29, 2011 That RH Monet. Just not my fave! I agree on that I hated this yarn did not like how it turned out in anything I tried. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nevam Posted July 29, 2011 Black, dark brown and navy blue are the worst for me. In fact, in my stash I have only 3 skeins of black (bought to use for stripes in an afghan) and no dark brown or navy blue. I prefer any other color than those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunnywolfgar Posted July 30, 2011 some times yellows and sometimes red, then other times it don't bother me. I think it has something to do with the shades, or moods who knows? As far as seeing colors Black n navy's and browns-- so I crochet those darker colors during the days for Black, Brown, Navy.. right now I have a OTT light-got it last christmas from Hubby. Haven't crochet with black or Navy's yarns or threads yet. into other colors right now. BUT I did have to do some hand sewing with a needle the other night repairing a torn and used black sewing thread and I did this at night. wow the OTT light was wonderful!

FrLopLady Posted July 30, 2011 I don't mind the darker colors, even at night, but I DO have an ott lightbulb so maybe that is why? There are colors I don't particularly care for and those are harder to use in the sense that I don't tend to choose them to make something with!

Chrysantha Posted July 30, 2011 orange...don't like the color, can't stand to see it...and sometimes blue, a certain shade of blue, it's not navy or royal, but somewhere in between...makes me nervous to look at. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pineknott Posted July 30, 2011 orange,I'll use it but sparingly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~Kel~ Posted July 31, 2011 nothing I can think of, I used to dislike the dark colors until I got lighted hooks, now not a problem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DebraKay Posted July 31, 2011 I would pick black for my least favorite too. Only because I find it difficult to see where the next stitch goes. I found the lighted crochet hooks make it much easier though! I am funny about my hooks and I am not crazy about the feel of the lighted hooks but will use it to make black yarn easier to deal with. I also bought a nice Ott lamp for the living room. I had a small table top one that I use on my painting table and decided I should have one for crochet too. It makes a world of difference!! You can rochet with black yarn and not have near the usual problem with it. Easier on the eyes than a normal bright bulb too. I love OTT lights -- just for crafting though -- the light is not warm or natural for normal living situations but well worth the addition when you need it for crochet and other crafts.

jessicali Posted July 31, 2011 I am going to have to look into those lighted hooks then! They sound pretty cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AbbyNormal Posted August 2, 2011 I agree with the black and dark colors. It kills my eyes also at night trying to find where to put my dang hook. I also just don't care for Hunter Green. Day or night. I am just not a fan of green at all but hunter green is the worst. I don't think I have ever found a varigated that I didn't like. Although I have never used the monet yet. But I want to see what it looks like and use it to find out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AbbyNormal Posted August 2, 2011 Whoa whoa whoa whoa! What was that about lighted hooks????? Where where WHERE do I find one?????? OOOOOOOOO You have my interest peaked now!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReniC Posted August 3, 2011 Whoa whoa whoa whoa! What was that about lighted hooks????? Where where WHERE do I find one?????? OOOOOOOOO You have my interest peaked now!!!!! Well, let's see, just to mention a few (no particular brand intended): Amazon.com has some on sale, JoAnn.com has them on sale also, and Herrschners.com, (but no sale) finally, knitting-warehouse.com has a sale too. Some brick/mortar stores still carry them. You would have to check your particular area. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ks_jessica Posted August 23, 2011 Black is really hard to crochet with lol However I don't like the oranges, browns, or "fiesta" colors although used in the right way they can look pretty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
