What would be a good color of yarn for a soaker that had a Dominican flag on the butt?<br><br>
Here is what a Dominican flag looks like:<br><br><a href="http://reference.allrefer.com/world/countries/dominican-republic/flag.html" target="_blank">http://reference.allrefer.com/world/...blic/flag.html</a>

OMG! Are you dominican??? I am. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/thumb.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="thumbs up">

Personally, I would go with green-it would bring out the lovely detailing in the center.<br>
HTH<br>

Light yellow?<br><br>
Something that would totally show it off without it blending.... so I think light or medium yellow!<br><br>
Pretty flag btw! Now I know where your son got his good looks!<br><br>
Sometimes I wish we had *some* spicyness in our blood... but the German/Irish/Welsh mix is all we've got <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/wink1.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="wink1"> So we have a bald blue eyed girl <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/wink1.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="wink1">

second the green.....

 

[Marielle]

just realized your dh is dominican. I'm dominican and DH is american (from GA)

 

[neveryoumindthere]

my first thought was yellow too

 

[Marielle]

Oh, personally I'm a cream kind of gal but a deep gold would also work because of the gold detail in the crest of our bandera.

 

[Artisan]

I would go with green or bright yellow.

 

[SEEPAE]

my first thought was yellow, then green. I think a rich yellow or light green(like the grass on the flag) would be pretty.

My husband is -- he was born there but moved to the US (NJ) when he was 5.<br><br>

Oh and my MIL used cloth on all 4 of her kids in the DR!

DH is Dominican -- I am like you German and Welsh (of course with a name like Morgan!)<br><br>
But Maxi did end up with all of the good features from both of us!

 

[summiebee]

Max's Mami....Is your husband a baseball player? Just now seeing the pic of him? LOL. And you too...<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile"> Love the curly hair. I am a curly haired gal and I straighten and loosen up my curl sometime shtough....like in my pics in my sig. normally very curly haired... LOL.

 

[Marielle]

Morgan, I was born in DR too (my mom used CDs on all 3 of us). I moved to NJ when I was 3 (Elizabeth) then moved to florida when I was 9 and grew up there. What a coincidence!<br><br>
I see your hubby plays pelota. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/wink1.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="wink1">

 

[Max's Mami]

I dont think she can do much of the detail in the center of the flag. So if you dont have much green to go on do you think yellow is best? Pale, medium or very bold yellow?<br><br>
Thanks for all the input!

That is CRAZY! What town are you from? DH is from San Cristobal. We got married in Juan Dolio and had our honeymoon in Punta Cana. His family moved to Elizabeth when he was 5!!!!!<br><br>
Most of his family still lives in the Linden/Union area! Except his dad who moved back to S.C.!<br><br>
Oh and yes he is with the Dodgers.

 

[15yrsbetweenboys]

I would still be inclined to go with a green myself LOL-but yellow-probably a mid to bright yellow to handle the bold colors of the flag<br>
HTH

LOL - how freaky is this. Cool he's a pelotero.<br><br>
I was born in Santo Domingo and most of my family is from there as well. My aunt has a vacation house in Juan Dolio. In fact, she's married to a tv/radio personality in DR.

 

[summiebee]

OoooOOo a celeb diaper Daddy. LOL. I jest.<br>
My husband would be excited. He is a huge baseball fan. I get kicked off the computer in his office(only room he is allowed to decorate), which is all done is pre WW2 baseball memorbilia..a stuffy leather chairs......(I think WAYYY too much money for a man's hobbie LOL) so that he can do his fantasy league. We live right next to a former Cleveland Indians pitcher too.<br>
I barely know the difference between a foul,a strike, touchdown, goal or run for that matter.<br>
LOL<br><br>
Summie<br><br>
ETA:<br>
I think we should have a thread of what we all and our husbands do. Just to get to know each other better!

 

[Max's Mami]

Ok so how does this color yellow look with the flag? Oh and I guess she can do the detail in the middle!<br><br><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=26267&item=2383448771" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=2383448771</a>
