No one went for any of the greens? Some of the shades in the initial pallete Jamison posted were excellent.

The way the ties are knit, it is easier to do horizontal stripes. They're the norm on striped silk knits, I'd say.

There were a couple nice designs using green, but in some cases it was a shade I didn't have, or a combination that didn't look good when checked against the actual silks.

I must have terrible taste. None of my top 20 favorites made it into the finals.

On my monitor the navy and violet colors in my entry in the finals lineup cannot be distinguished.

Please take a look here before voting. Thanks.
