I choose my colors for crochet from yarn I love. Lately, I've been favoring the hand-dyed multi-color yarns, but for fun I combine a few rows of one pattern in the multi with a few rows of another in a solid coordinating or contrasting color. I used to be afraid of too much color, but now the more, the merrier!! Thanks for letting us have a chance to win this wonderful kit! What a fun contest!!

Must be a fascinating experience to live there!
