Indecision Strikes Again... Help Me Choose Please!

With the end in sight on my current knitting project, I'm already thinking ahead to my next project (that I'm hoping to take with my on my holiday). Since my first Miette cardigan was so successful, I've decided I want to knit up another one (and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't slightly influenced by the Handmaker's Factory knit-a-long going on at the moment)

Around clockwise from the top: Flourite, Turquoise, Azurite, Antimony, Garnet, Sapphire, Tanzanite. and Corundum in the middle.

However I can't decide what colour to make it. I am going to use the same yarn again, Avalon from Morris and Sons, and have managed to 'narrow down' (in the loosest sense of the term) the colours from the 47 options down to 8...

Top Row L-R: Corundum, Azurite, Turquoise, Flourite
Bottom Row L-R: Antimony, Tanzanite, Sapphire, Garnet
Which of these 8 colours do you think I should choose? (bearing in mind that my current knit is a jumper that's a dark teal colour, despite how it appears in some of the photos).

Top Row L-R: Garnet, Tanzanite, Sapphire, Corundum
Bottom Row L-R: Azurite, Turquoise, Flourite, Antimony

I have sort of narrowed down this list of 8 to 3 or 4, but really haven't decided yet, so all opinions and suggestions welcome!

    I would use either the Garnet or Flourite, personally. Although all of them are beautiful; I can see why you are having a difficult time deciding!

    They are all so pretty! I love the sapphire, but I also like turquoise, they are such happy colours to me :)

    Flourite - definitely fluorite. I think that shade of green would look great on you, and be the perfect colour for a cardi.

    I vote fluorite! It's a gorgeous colour.

    I like the antimony I the azurite.

    I'm also thinking of joining in the KAL but I'm worried the finished garment would be too small. Do you know if the bust measurement n the pattern is a full or high bust. Knitting patterns seem to use botg, without labelling!

    I quite like corundum actually :-)

    I have been thinking about the very same knitalong ... my problem is that I already have a lovely cotton I could use, but it would be a smaller gauge and I am just worried it would be too much hassle to try and get it to fit.

    I like corundum, in fact on my way to check it out now for me!

    Such gorgeous colours! I particularly like the Fluorite and think it would look divine up against your skin colour :)

    I'm totally late to the party, but Turquoise and Fluorite are my favourites!
