Okay, so I really can't do random, I know I'd just use up everything I like best and then be left with lots of rows of what I don't like as much. And I don't want to have to get more yarn; and I'm using a combination of unstrechy 100% cotton, springy 100% acrylic, and some cotton/acrylic mix, so I have to have them intermixed somewhat regularly. So I figured out about how many rows I can expect fron each yarn and cut a piece to represent each row. I kind of slapped them down as fast as I could and then did some swapping around to break up cotton blocks or acrylic blocks and color chunks. Then I taped them to this paper and am using this as a pattern for my randomness ;-)

This is what it looks like so far - the colors look wrong on my moniter, the blue is a periwinkle, the pink a peach, and the purple more of a lavender. . . but you get the idea.
