I’d be awful tempted to make Erik but I don’t have yarn in his colors and I NEED to whittle down my stock
Make one in colors that don't match and write down the pattern. Then gift the 'wrong' one to someone that doesn't know better and get the right yarn to make a proper Erik ;)

Mick hasn't realized the blue I'm currently using isn't exactly the right shade of Hornsby blue either :P Btw Mick, blue or green argyle sweater?

Blue is blue. Trying to find the perfect shade of anything is a waste of time, close enough will usually do just fine. Call it artistic freedom. 🤷‍♂️

That black/blue one that your Hornsby is always wearing does look really good! 🤔

Hehe I’m particular about my shades of blue but I’m willing to go with the closest blue possible

Just so I know we're talking about the same one, this one? :

because that's dark blue, white and a lighter blue, no black.

Yeah, there's a closer blue though I don't have enough of it... there's only like 50cm left from a rainbow blanket (I should also finish that but meh, not feeling like making blankets at the moment). This is the closest I have, it'll do to figure out a pattern. I can always make a better Hornsby for me to keep :P
 
Ugh. But I don't like crocheting with black yarn, it makes the stitches hard to see. Inferior Hornsby is getting a dark, dark blue sweater.

Fair enough. :D

By the way, the lighting in that picture is slightly on the warm side. That's the problem with colours, they require context. Dark blue will do just fine, even if that picture is dark purple 😂
 
Aye! It's the best day of this year I guess 😂

Did you hear about that pirate who went to the doctor? He says "Thar be moles on me back!" So the doctor does some checks and eventually says "Looks like they're benign", which the pirate responds to with "Look again matey, I'm sure thar be ten!"
