It took a couple more helpings of chocolate to get this pink tamed down. Not sure if I'm ready for the rusty shade - I never wear browns or orange. But since it's below my waist, I'll give something new a try. I've taken one photo with the original so you can see how much it has changed.
And here's a pic with the potential partner of cream cotton. The new rusty shade is more accurate in the first photo - its not so dark as in the one right above. I'm hoping the finished skirt doesn't come out looking too candy-can striped. The swatch looked OK though. Casting on - now!

Cream and chocolate, great combo!
Your dyeing is superb, and the finished product will be truly an original.
I don't wear browns or orange either, but I'm sure it will look lovely, and teamed with a cream top, yum!
I think it's going to be gorgeous! Can't wait to see it!
This would be real pretty for fall. And is is almost a neutral! I think anything would go with it.
It'll be great. Those colours look good together.
I love the outcome in the color pot. Chocolate was an excellent choice.
I like the color it turned out. It looks like a variegated chocolate color. It should look great in the shirt.
Vigorously nodding my head in agreement with all the comments above.
I LOVE the new colour! Love the skirt too. Admired the pattern but I don't think I wear skirts enough to spend the time knitting one that might not see a lot of action. But maybe if I had a beautiful skirt I'd want to wear it all the time... hmmm.
