I worry that it will eventually fail to work for some reason because it is so much nicer and faster than doing the maths myself!<br />catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-8964746024538471792017-03-13T16:03:06.038+00:002017-03-13T16:03:06.038+00:00Echoing Joni's comment - in this case you woul...Echoing Joni's comment - in this case you wouldn't want Fair Isle with only the colors on the left. It wouldn't show up. I posted some pictures on my blog today of the same problem in a log cabin blanket, not enough contrast.

Since I have mostly knitted her designs, I have done this many times although it is usually done with colors that are slightly darker or lighter...only a shade different sometimes.

If the colors are too much the same in tonal, you won't really be able to see the designs. In your case, it looks like you can pair just about any of the yarns on the left with one on the right and have a good match.Jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09705353114739911719noreply@blogger.com
