The hardest part of the project has been choosing yarn. I've trolled the internet for everything in the appropriate weight, and it was all either too expensive or had the wrong colour range; I've come full circle to the DROPS Alpaca.
Then there's planning how to use the colours - three reds and a light grey. Here are my choices...
A:
B:
C:
Any preferences? I was leaning towards C, but now I might be keener on B. Hmmm....
I've just added option D which goes ofr both the optically slimming and the colour prgression angles...

My initial leaning is toward B, but I think C would look excellent as well!
I'd go for D! I prefer the brown as the main colour over the brick red. It looks great; I love Drops patterns & I'll look forward to seeing this one progress!
ooh, i want to knit that too. someday.
I CAN'T DECIDE.
i think d. with b a close second.
Oh, gorgeous, regardless of the colour pattern.
I think I like C best, but they would all look lovely.
I like B!
I think this design is going to be bee-ooo-ti-ful on you

I like B because, thinking of you and how you look, I just think the dark shape your luscious hair makes around your face would look good with the dark section of the sweater going right down the middle. I think it would all balance out gorgeously.

...after a quick re-read I like D best because, as you point out, the slimming dark central panel (supergorgeous with you and your hair) is matched with pleasing colour progressions... I like how it goes to bright red at the sides.
On balance i think I like D best!
D. doo eet.
