colorful advice
hello all...hoping for some advice here. i'm knitting a bag, and i'm not sure about my color scheme. i used winter blue for the main color...for the contrasting color on top, should i use creme or supreme purple? i'm kinda leaning toward the creme 'cause i'm not sure if purple and blue are too funky together and will therefore match nothing i own, thus becoming just another bag in my closet that i never use...buuuuuuuht (since the contrast color is the handle portion of the bag) if i use creme, my grubby hands may turn the handles into a taupe color pretty quickly. anyone know how well wool washes? which one do you guys think will work better? thanks in advance for your input! i'll be sure and post the finished product so you can see how well your advice went...and if it doesn't work out, i'll be forced to blame the masses! ;) tee-hee...just kidding! could the 2 people who read this blog really be considered masses? tee-hee...just kidding again. i promise i'll be happy with either color...it could go either way, i just want another perspective.

yay knitting! your knitting looks so even, i'm jealous! i can't get mine to look that nice, even after blocking :(
so opinions--i think unless you use superwash wool you need to be kind of careful (no agitating it too much, no shocking it with water temp changes, etc) otherwise it might felt. unless that's what you're going for.
i'm going to vote for the purple because of the grubby factor. that's just me though. i have pretty grubby hands for someone who doesn't play on monkey bars anymore.
sorry i'm not more helpful!
i'm with susanne j-me owie...i like the purple...and who says you always have to match? i don't match pretty much on a daily basis...but then again i like the funky color combos...the bag is looking too cute...i wanna see the end results! love ya!
