Then out of the blue, I'll pick a color up and just start...It's almost magical how you suddenly have to work with it, need to work with it. The yarn you describe is a color that stands by itself very well. I enjoy the chevron or ripple pattern for my afghans (I don't have any posted on my blog, but might venture down that road soon...). I find that bold colors like this one often work well in that pattern.

I bought it for a sweater for my mom, but I highly doubt she'd want to go out dressed like a pumpkin. It’s not a bad shade, really, but a little more orange-y than I’d like it.
