I need help deciding which of the unmatching pinks match the vest best (the yarn is on top of the vest) or would suit my vest the best. To refresh memories, I'll be knitting the Hermione mittens (will I have them finished in time for the opening of The Goblet of Fire??). This is the first candidate...hand dyed with strawberry Kool-Aid.
Contestant #2, hand dyed with pink lemonade Kool-Aid.
And contestant #3, Merino Style yarn from Knit Picks...the closest retail match I could find.
So what yarn should I knit mittens with 1, 2 or 3?
I am a 30-something dental hygienist living in MN with my Weimaraner Casey, and missing my Boxer Flea. My husband Kyle is my best friend. I drive a 10 year old truck and a 9 year old motorcycle. My brother is currently serving in the US Air Force stationed in New Mexico. I love Rice Krispie bars, all things Tangerine/Mandarin Orange and Pistachio, Peanut M&M's, caramel, Jelly Bellys, comfortable shoes, cowboy/rodeo fabric, warm blankets, handmade quilts, soft pillows, really good chocolate and lazy days. I dislike litterbugs, dry hands, burned popcorn, slow drivers, below zero days and poor service & dirty silverware at restaurants. I'm currently enjoying my new Android phone, working on my UFO's and reading Recalculating on my nook.
I'm looking forward to Christmas!

I'm with novaks8, I like the contrast of #1. #3 might be a bit too matchy matchy.
I'm always all about the contrast, too.
I vote for the lemonade
I'd choose #1 first, #3 second.
Lemonade, hands down.
I thought #2 looked good but #3 is the best match.
