What gorgeous yarn! I really couldn't choose, either.

However, the flowers you posted I think were mountain laurel (a personal favorite of mine, and one which I'm terribly homesick for) or apple blossoms. It's a bit hard to tell with the bottom picture.

Good luck with your yarn choice!

oh yeah. Cherry Tree Hill. But you knew I’d say that! LOVE option 3.
Gorgeous colors – happy colors…to get you through the allergy blues!

Can’t help you with the scarf (except maybe to say that I liked your original combination just fine) but I’m pretty sure your evil flowering tree is a mountain laurel.

I still like Option 1. I think they would all work well, however option one really pops out at me.

wow, so many pretty yarns! lucky you. the chevron scraf is definately on my list of to-do’s. it’s such a lovely pattern.
i like the cherry tree hill the best because i am a *sucker for bright pinks and purples!

Option #3 - it's "zingy"

But you know, with such good raw material to begin with, I bet than ANY of the options will be smashing.

Swatch and see?

Go with your gut… first choice, definitely! And you’ve come to the right place… nothing but easy, fun, happy knitting! I foresee lots of chevrons are in my future filled with dissertation angst. Can’t wait to see!!

PS: Don’t worry too much about your choices, as you can see pretty immediately whether your pair is going to work well together or not.

I like all of them. From what I’ve seen around blogland, the ones that “pop” the most are ones which have no colors in common – funny, because I would never have chosen like that.

The photos at the top look to me to be mountain laurel, but I know them from the Northeast, not central CA.

I like Option 3!

Damned allergies… they’re slowly gearing up here and I’m already dreading them.

Brenda- I guess Spring isn’t always wonderful when you have allergies.

Decisions, decisions… they’re all lovely!
