I am a long-time knitter, but never fell under the spell of colorwork. I've done some, of course, in children's sweaters, socks and mittens. I have never knit a colorwork sweater. There is a lot more to it, lol! I don't know any of the color theory -- what color is dominant -- how to position the colors -- if I want the sweater to be light vs. dark, etc. I have navy blue, light brown, and dark grey. I have multiple colors to choose from for the fourth color. Can you give a girl who is clueless about color placement a hand? I was hoping I could figure it out by reading the posts and looking at the WIPs, but it hasn't happened. Thanks!

Hi everyone 👋 I was just going to sort of troll until I saw the WIP photos of Clue 1. I was immediately hooked. I am just now finishing up the Caeli sweater and I see the genius in the pattern-writer 😉 I knew I had to make this. I have a set of three colors of silk/merino/cashmere, navy blue, tan and dark gray, four 50g balls of each, in DK weight, but thinking of holding a strand of silk mohair with one or more of the colors. I have yet to figure out what color I want for my fourth. This will also be my first steeking experience, so I may freak out a bit, lol, but have been assured that the trauma will pass.
