Fiber Color Madness - help this Sistah out!

Happy sunny morning cheers to all you good people! Today, I'm a rambling snogger...incessant snore like blogger..in my mind..then I get here and I start to feel all nakey and shy...wth? Forget all that I was GONNA tell ya...I'll snog along and maybe it will come back to me...zzzzzzzz

I could sure use some suggestions to complete this color way..or at least begin to get it off the ground...I am trying to dye gray...and ta dahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! dark purple...(who set that dye there?..)..zzz type of brainfart
Purple means girly...girl to me (my man don't won't even consider a purple anything..except business shirt rare/occasionally) ...so..now what?
on to more attempts at gray..........
I got this terrific steely gray..I am in love with this color - this is corriedale wools.
but now what???? I'm stuck
So what I have is gray.. need more than one additional color suggestion....teal, or spruce type green keeps floating through my head..wondering if thats a cool color or warm...I may have to go to just a light gray to bring in some warmth...hmmmmmmmmmmm? or zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz?
Maybe I'm just confused.
And don't forget to support your local food share, alot of folks in need out there now, do what you can, when ya can, however ya can. Don't forget everyone has a dream, to be warm and full might be my own one day.
Please leave me color advice...taking all and any color input, I might have to rock off and dye some thing fire engine red then where am I gonna be?

I popped out these two alpaca and wool head bands..up to Etsy they go.

I hope the increased sunlight in your days warms your hearts....Hope for spring! And don't forget to be greatful for SOMETHING!

Hand Knit Alpaca Corriedale Head band

I hand knit this Alpaca and Corriedale wool head band, and turned the purl side out for a different look. Very soft, lofty and warm! This is currently for sale in my Etsy shop.

Cheers all you good people! Thanks for stopping by!

This month will officially start my Monthly FIBERLICOUS Giveaway!!!

This promotional offering will run from 3/1/09 - 3/31/09. I hope to be able to offer my Monthly Fiberlicious Giveaway each month through 2009. The chosen winner, selected by random number generator, will be announced here and in my shop on April 1st, 2009. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO WIN!

To enter the March Fiberlicious Giveaway you can either post a comment to my blog, or hop on over to my shop on Etsy (ilashdesigns.etsy.com) and convo. me from the e-mail address you wish to be contacted for address confirmation for your free gift! I will make a listing of the items to be selected as "gifts" in my shop, and if you are chosen the winner, you will get to choose your gift from the selected prizes, by contacting me with your choice. The items I have chosen as giveaway gifts are mostly craft items I have in my stash. I will try to offer fiber related items each month, but I might throw in something special I think might be loved by someone that is not fiber related.

Check out my store listing for the other three prizes! There will be one March winner.
