I'm still pondering colorways...Like I said, I got some gorgeous Claudia's Handpainted in Pink Posey, but I am not looking at Blue Moon's STR in Coral or maybe even in the "FooFoo" colorway. I know it doesn't *have* to be pink, but for me, I really want it to be pink. Maybe if I *shop* in my stash I'll find something appropriate-and not necessarily pink...And then there is Lorna's Laces in Flamingo-part of the proceeds go to a breast cancer charity (their site stated Susan G. Komen for the first quarter of 2007, so they must be rotating charities every quarter)...Blue Moon's "Hot Flash" was created for the same purpose, as well, though I don't know if they will do it when they next produce this colorway. Seems it would be fitting to go with one of the colorways that also benefit a breast cancer charity.
I'll try and get a pic of the options I have so far...
EDIT-Here is a pic of what I found in my stash as a possibility...Sereknity "Black Forest Fudge"...

I chose STR's "Coral" for mine! Knitterly minds think alike or something like that? Can't wait to see what you choose :)
Yes, the coral looks awesome! I actually whined at Tina about Hot Flash, and she said she thinks they have a skein around. Otherwise, it may be a "Blackforest Fudge" Sereknity sock yarn I found in my stash. I'm editing my post to include a pic of that one.
I can hardly wait to see your Campanulas knit in the coral, though!
Hey - Black Forest Fudge is BFF for short - I love that! But DANGER, Will Robinson. Best to make a test swatch first. Or just add a lifeline (try dental floss - Mmmm - fresh and minty) after the toe is completed before you continue with the pattern, so you can change your mind and do a different pattern with this yarn, without having to rip out the toe. There's a chance you won't like this yarn and lace-pattern combo. They might "fight", each distracting from the other.
P.S. Please post pix of your sock in progress, so the rest of us can see how this pattern looks with a highly variegated yarn. It will be great for the group to follow your exploits!
Yes, I know it the variegated could be problematic with the Campanula pattern, but I am hoping that the overall laciness will come through with the lighter tones. We'll see...I do have some more semi-solid options, but I'll give the "BFF" a whirl! (Hadn't realized the "BFF" of it's name! Clever you!)
