Good morning ladies :hi

 

I'm excited.....only 23 hours and 35 min left :bounce

 

Jamie - I love your colors :manyheart

 

As for the 10AM time :( I also think it's due to last time. If I remember correctly most of them were posted super early, but there's was maybe 1 or 2 weeks that they got up later and people went crazy :(

Hi everyone:) I've decided to join in the fun with you all! This will be my first mystery CAL. Here are the colors I chose. Willow, porcelain red, bitter rose, sun drift, and incense. Sun drift will be my MC. Excited for tomorrow to get here!

 

Beautiful!

 

 

That's a rip off!!!! that is almost half way into the day... we wuz robbed!!!

 

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

 

It's only 8 AM for me!:D

I'll have time to enjoy a cup of coffee and then get to crocheting :hook:lol

 

yes :ty

 

I was so rude before :blush

 

Not rude! I was :rofl reading yours!

 

 

I went over my original colors and it clicked when I changed my contrast color.:hook I'll post a pic of the colors later on today.

 

I did the same thing last night. I kept thinking they were all too bright of colors. Sooooo..... of course I had to stop at Hobby Lobby and Michaels on my way home last night! :lol

 

I changed 3 of the contrast colors. They are still the same colors just a different shade of them.

 

MC- Burgundy (RHSS)

CA- Colonial Blue (Vannas Choice)

CB- Aran (RHSS)

CC- Taupe (RH Classic)

CD- Mustard (Vannas Choice)

It better hurry and get here before I run out and change my colors again!!:rofl

ADD, they sound like they'll work!

I'm still not sure of mine.

Here's a pic. The bright one on the end is a vivid purple, and my contrast color.

I have no idea how it's all going to look together...LOL!

I would be tempted to use the White and black as the MC and the contrast D with the other purples fitting in the middle.

 

It's hard to tell from pics on computer monitors so I am probably wayyyyy off. :wlol

 

I like all those colours together fer shure.

I meant use white as the MC and the black as the Contrast D. But I'm not sure if the dark is black. :think

It IS black - and your idea is PERFECT! White will be the MC - thanks!:hug With the percentages of the ABC colors the same for the crochet version, from what I saw on their site anyway, it doesn't matter which of the purples I use the rest of the way.

Marvelous:D

Such a great array of colors!

 

I'm going to start out with the H hook they suggested, but I'm certain that I'll end up ripping it out and going up at least one hook size so I end up with an afghan with a drape that I like. I have plenty of extra yarn, so I might end up using a K hook! (I do like a K hook. That's that size I use for my scrap grannies!)

Great colors, Phyllis! I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing how your knitted one looks with those wonderfully soft colors! Makes me sorry I didn't get those colors myself!;)

 

Anyone else using a size K hook?
Not a K, but at least an I - I think the H would be too tight for a ghan with WW. For me, anyway.

 

And thanks for all the feedback on my colors, ladies!
