In my pattern for the Adhara Shawl I specified that I thought the stitch pattern looked best when worked in two similar shades, with only subtle differences between them. I often get e-mails and Ravelry messages about this, I think that I may have inadvertently made people nervous about picking their own colours. Have no fear! I'm here to help. Here are a few of my favourite potential Adhara Shawl colour combo's:
Left column, top to bottom: Deep Sea and Peacock; Frost and Seabreeze; Lilac and Dove.
Center column, top to bottom: Sand and Gold; Shadow and Atlantic (the original pairing); Pink Grapefruit and Sunset; Stormy and Shadow.
Right column, top to bottom; Spearmint and Lemongrass; Garnet and Velvet; Brick and Chestnut.
There are of course a million other potential colour pairings that would all make gorgeous Adhara Shawls, but hopefully this is enough to get you pointed in the right direction. A single colour Adhara would also be stunning, I'm considering knitting one in my lace weight yarn myself.
oohhhh the grellow combo is yummy1
ReplyDeleteI want to knit all of those combos! You should sell them as kits,I would totally purchase one (or twelve).
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the frost/seabreeze combination. I agree with katherinelynn_04... the Adhara shawl would make for a perfect kit, especially with all of the lovely color combos.
ReplyDeleteok, I think I have to vote for the lilac and dove!!!!
ReplyDeleteDREAMY!!!!!
Beautiful. My fave would be Frost and Seabreeze;
ReplyDeleteI love the purple and fuchsia set!
ReplyDeleteOh the yummy color choices! The first one that spoke to me was the spearmint/lemongrass ... although it wasn't the only one. :)
ReplyDeleteThese colour combos are beautiful! I want to make this shawl for my mom and I've been thinking about which colour combo to do... I love the frost/seabreeze and grapefruit/sunset!
ReplyDeleteI love the lilac & dove :)
ReplyDeleteI've had a Pink Grapefruit and Sunset Adhara planned for a while, and I'm relieved to see that combo in your suggestions - I was a little scared it wouldn't work. So many other pretty combos, too!
