The color problem ended up being far more significant than I originally anticipated, so I'm just embracing the two totally different oranges as a design element rather than pretending they may actually be supposed to match. Although the colors are gender neutral, I think the lace makes this sweater to girly for a boy baby, or am I just being silly? I don't know the gender of any of the babies I'm knitting for right now, but statistically one of them is bound to be a girl, right? As usual, I'm sure I wont get around to sewing on the buttons until the intended recipient is in his or her crib.
It's going to be a rough 10 days of work and travel around here. Hopefully I'll have plenty of time for knitting, but I'm not sure I'll be doing much blogging.

very cute! i think that the colors work well together.. even the different dyelots!
take care and don't travel too hard :)
I like the various colors too! Sometimes things look better when they're not *so* organized.
I think that the colors work well too. If you hadn't told us those oranges were supposed to match, i would have thought you did it on purpose! I agree that the lace isn't very boy-friendly...
It's so pretty! I like all the colors, it's a gorgeous sweater. And yes, probably best for a girl.
I like calling the differet colors a design element. And I would agree that the lace makes this one trend girly. I hate when I come up against my gender stereotypes like that, but there it is.
