So I tried other colors. But the pinks didn't look right and the greens didn't seem right either (somehow I decided I have enough green clothes, but I don't think I do actually) and somehow it seems that those are the only colors I like. Yellow=blech. Ditto orange and many reds (I'm very picky about my reds). And then I came across purple.

Of course, that cellphone picture there does not capture the color at all--it does not shine like that, it absorbs all light into its murky depths.
I know, by the way, that my yarn choice is something of a head-scratcher, given that it's much bulkier than what is normally called for for Emily. But many of the sweaters I looked at on Ravelry seemed overly drapey--I wanted to see if I could make this pouf. I've gone down a needle size as well--six from what was supposed to be seven. Which may be pushing things. We'll see.
