Here's A Good Idea for

Choosing Colors for a Project

Step 1: Print out black and white copies of your pattern.

Use a large photo if possible.

We show Sensibility Shawl (FREE Ravelry download) as an example.

Step 2: Select colored pencils in possible colors.

The greater the range of colored pencils that

you have to choose from, the closer you can get to the actual colors.

Step 3: Color over the black and white printout.

The coloring gives a good idea of what the project will look like finished.

Trust us, this really works!

We especially like getting an idea of

contrasting colors of stripes.
