I thought I'd try some swatching with colours I have in odd balls and ends at home.
After admiring the grey/blue palette of the scottish hillsides, I thought I would try to put it into yarn. I know I need to get a bit of practice in the gentle art of achieving that smooth flow from one colour to the next. So for this swatch, I started with purples and blues and then worked them around into browns.

Off the swatch, it looked like it would flow smoothly. I was surprised where the discontinuities are.
On the back of the swatch it looks quite different. I think the flow is a bit more smooth-looking.

However, the most smooth-flowing part (grey to brown to black at the top) looks best on the back....

... and the front.
