Help me choose a sweater color

[pixiecrinkle]

I'm posting this here, because, let's face it, my knitting blog just doesn't get the traffic my lj does.

I am knitting the Hourglass sweater (see photos at the knitalong) but I'm changing it up a bit, adding a frilly edging to the bottom, and also adding ruffles peeking out of the sleeves and hem. Girliest sweater ever!

I have somehow amassed lots of Kidsilk Haze, which is what I want to knit the ruffles out of, but I can't decide if I want a tone-on-tone effect, a neutral, or a stark contrast. That's where you all come in.


If your sweater was this color:



which of these would you use for the ruffles?



Edited to add the color names, just in case you want to choose based on that: 1-Pearl, 2-Jet, 3-Marmalade, 4-Liquer, 5-Blushes, 6-Meadow, 7-Jelly.

Either the black or the white, and I geeked out upon seeing your icon.

Yeah, not exactly apropos, but I so seldom get to use it... :-)

I like the lime color for playfulness, but I'd wear the dark rose more places.

I agree, but I did vote for 7.

I voted for 6 but I think i'll change my mind and vote for 4! It'll go with more things I think if you keep the colors related.

I'm putting that edging on a vest! Is that from Knitting On The Edge?

I like the monochromatic too but I like the grey or black for contrast.

2 or 4 or 5 'cause I'm guessing it would go with more things.
