nothing but a sleeve
Number one done.
Number two to do. So, what do you think of the contrast color? I didn't pick it out myself. The yarn for the store model was picked out by powers higher than me. I think the burgundy looks good when the main color is looking blue-ish. But in it's more lilac moments, I'm not quite so sure. posted by alison at 9:13 am | in

I still like it. You know. Anything to cut down the blue. ;-) Posted by: claudia at May 21, 2005 9:14 AMHa, ha, Claudia! Calmer doesn't come in orange, does it? ;0) Posted by: alison at May 21, 2005 9:18 AMI think a medium green would look better (I really like the main color). Posted by: Leslie at May 21, 2005 9:31 AMActually, I think the colors look pretty good together. I wouldn't have thought to put them together but they work well. Posted by: kellyt at May 21, 2005 9:46 AMOoooh, green, I love it! My high school colors were blue and green and they ended up being my favorite colors (together too!) for a long time. If my NBaT class goes (gotta make sure that enough people sign up), then I'll have the pleasure of picking out colors for another tee for me. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Posted by: alison at May 21, 2005 9:48 AMI love it! Very nice contrast. Posted by: Lindsay at May 21, 2005 10:02 AMThose are the same colours as an England football (soccer) team called West Ham! It just made me giggle! Posted by: AmyP at May 21, 2005 10:03 AMIt's all the rage in retro ringer tees! Posted by: Dava at May 21, 2005 10:16 AMI like the contrast color - it's not something I would have necessarily put together, but the more I look at it, the more I like it. Do you mind me asking how many of these you are making? It seems like before long, you will have all the possible combinations... Posted by: christina b. at May 21, 2005 11:36 AMI love light blue and burgandy. So pretty. Not so sure about the lilac either though. I'm sure it'll look great :) Posted by: Vicki at May 21, 2005 12:06 PMI agree with the above poster that it looks good, but isn't something I would have put together myself. Posted by: Jenn at May 21, 2005 12:10 PMI agree, I would have never put these two colors together. The owner of my LYS is really good with color though; she's always putting things together that I would never think of and they look fabulous. So I'm trusting her on this one. It does remind me of Old Navy ringer tees actually! Christina, I made two tees for MagKnits (plus several half-fronts for the various designs), but I donated the pink MagKnits tee to Kerrie, the editor. So this will be my third t-shirt, but since it's a store model, I won't be keeping it either. If I do the class, I'll make a fourth, which will be only the second one in my closet. Posted by: alison at May 21, 2005 12:15 PMI think that the colors are great together as long as you'll wear it! The heck with what everyone else thinks. This pattern is on my list of "Have to do's". Posted by: Laurie at May 21, 2005 12:48 PMI think the colors work well together, at least in those photos. I'm a color chicken and never would have thought to put those two together. I need higher powers to force me to be bolder in my color choices. :-/ Posted by: RK at May 21, 2005 12:56 PMIt's gonna be cute! It's good to shake it up a little. Posted by: Christie at May 21, 2005 2:49 PMalison- I have the yarn for my very own nothing but a tee tee...but want to make it one size larger than the pattern lists...am I right in thinking I could just increase the cast on stitches by 4? -Carla Posted by: Carla Hibbard at May 21, 2005 3:50 PM |
