I like purple when done with Teal but it goes with just about anything- found chevrons look better on 1/2 inch spacing-4 or 8 axis but have to be done at same time so they all tie together.I agree just make diamond bigger or reverse the chevrons.colors look Ok and thier straight.Also easier to wrap and move around if you do with multiple thread passes.(wrap with like 2 or 4 threads at a time on each pass.)I can do with like 12 when filling in closed wrap but more then that and I get $#@- up.I know a guy that can do in passes of 20 but I cant get over the 12.
