Remember this picture? I needed to figure out a way to incorporate all of the colors David picked out for his sweater and still create a sweater that I liked! First, I needed to decide whether the stripes would be wide or skinny.
I definitely liked wide stripes better, and David agreed! Next up was deciding on the order of the colors.
Here were four possibilities. I tried to put warm colors next to cool ones. David liked the first option best, except he wanted the green and fuchsia stripes switched. After that I just had to take a few measurements and then get started!
It is very bright! In the beginning it looked like a tribute to Mondrian, but the fuchsia changing that a little bit now. I'm just about finished with the body knitting now, and soon I'll be able to move on to the sleeves.
wow! eye popping. great design idea, except I don't see pink next to yellow on the patterns above. I hope I've not spotted a fault.

It is very bright, but in a good way. I think the narrow dark brown between the wider brights makes it all work. I like how you had the different stripe mock-ups for David to choose from.
