Thank you.  Will do.  So far I made a pattern of Bob Marley, and a picture of 4 sheep standing in a small flock.  I got the yarn to start on the sheep picture, but I need some yarn for the Bob Marley. (One of my Nieces wants a crocheted picture of Bob Marley).


I'm getting ready to crochet a picture of Marilyn Monroe for my Sister, but I have one question.  Where did you get the numbers and names for your colors from your main menu?


Have you ever thought about adding a color palate from Red Heart Yarns, Vanna Choice Yarns, etc. in addition to the Lion Brand Woolese?  The Red Heart has a lot more colors.


I was looking at my Chart I made of Marilyn Monroe and looking at my list of Colors Used and I chose the Symbols; Color numbers as well as the Names of the Colors.  There's a part of Marilyn Monroe's hair where the hilights are and the symbol in those areas is a single Dot for the symbol, but the List of the colors does not reflect the Dots nor the color white.  The lightest color that shows is on the Color Legend is "Beaver Grey-Medium # 407.  Where does the name and number for your colors come from?

Where did you guys get the color numbers and names for example;

# 326 Beaver Brown-Ulight drk;   # 407 Beaer Grey-Medium,
# 411 Beighe Grey-Dark,             # 412 Brown Grey-Medium,
# 415 Beige Grey-Very Dark,       # 420 Pewter Grey and
# 430 Pewter grey-Very Dark

Is ther a brand of embroidery thread or yarn that uses these number and names for these colors that I can compare to?  It's tough for to decifer which is the lightest to the darkest.
