I have color issues with my knitting.  Some people can put color together and the project looks fantastic; others can do the same project with different colors and not have as much success.  So, I feel the same may be true of my project above.  Although it looks beige in the picture, when I chose the yarn for another project, I thought it was yellow.  It's not.  Obviously that may contribute to the challenges I have putting color together.  The bottom line:  it's a gift to know color.
