April would be my favorite combination. Both because I love the color green and because it brings to mind Spring flowers, which seem so far away right now with the sub-zero temperatures right now.

Love these designs. Retro is definitely my choice. The colors are classic. I love Solis in all bases & Cereza, need I say more?!
ReplyDeleteOn Rav I'm warpedntwisted.
What a beautiful design. My choice would be curiosity. Just enough pink to be pretty, but not too much.

I love the retro colorway. I have totally been into red and blue together lately and this is no exception. Great pattern!

I love Retro for this-the combo pushes me out of my comfort zone, but it's still classic. What a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm florapie on Rav too.
What a lovely shawl you've created. I particularly like the way the different stitch patterns work with the colourways of the yarn.
ReplyDeletei think my favourite combination is retro. as a 50's enthusiast i can't really go past it to be honest! there's a great vintage vibe to it.

I really like the curiosity!

I loved, loved, loved the testknit version I did. It is a shawl worthy of everyday wearing AND special occasions.....
ReplyDeleteRetro is gorgeous! I love how bold the colors are together. I can just picture wearing it with a pop of red lipstick.

I really love Retro, but turquoise is one of my favorite colors so perhaps I'm a bit biased.
ReplyDeleteThatBeccaPerson
Retro is my favorite color combo, those are the colors I picked for my wedding quilt!
ReplyDeleteStampalina
Retro! Because Cereza is amazing and Solis is so pretty too!
ReplyDeleteSpecialKknits on Rav

My favorite is Curiosity, mostly because I love the colors and it would go with most of my clothes. Im oceanbreezes on Ravelry.
ReplyDeleteI like curiosity best! A very nice color combination, the other two seem like the colors clash too much.

ReplyDeleteI love April, because I'm currently in love with purples of all shades.

Love it! My daughter wants me to knit a warm wrap-around shawl for chilly Florida evenings and this is ideal. I love the Curiosity color combo as those are her favorite colors. This pattern is perfect like the variations so knitting will not be boring.
ReplyDeletexstmj on Ravelry
The shawl is beautiful! Retro would be my favourite colour combination. I can't resist turquoise!
ReplyDeleteOn Ravelry I'm LittleJuniper
All of the combinations are nice, but my favorite is the Curiosity. Blue-purple and fuscia are my favorite colors.
ReplyDeleteI love the brightness of Curiosity!

Curiosity is my favorite. It adds to the soft and feminine look of the design. My ravel name is JnAknit
ReplyDeleteI would like to use curiosity to do this shawl again for my BF in Wi. She is a bluey kinda gal and she drooled heavily over the pix of the test knit I did for Cory....Yes, Curiosity would be my choice this time round.....
ReplyDeleterav id bunkielovesocks
Retro, retro, retro--love it! Pretty turquoise, awesome cerise. This is my favorite!!
ReplyDeleteTiggerRD
I'm loving them all, but Curiosity is my favorite. pocketmeadowfarm on rav
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new collection! Green is my favorite color, so April is my favorite color combination! Plus, it reminds me of spring, which I am longing for so much after all of the snow we've been getting on the east coast.
