The chart for Week 2 of the Peppermint Purple Year Long Blackwork SAL on Facebook came out on Wednesday, January 8th and I went ahead and stitched it immediately. The hardest thing about this SAL is figuring out which colors to use. I'm seriously considering frogging Week 2 and just using one color throughout. Any opinions?
Week 2's block is stitched using DMC Variations #4190 and took about 1 1/2 hours to stitch since there was some frogging involved.
Here are the two squares together:

Lovely blackwork, I like both colours. Do you know what you are doing with it when finished? That may affect your colour choice.
Beautiful. I like it with multiple colors but some people have really beautiful pieces with just one too. Good luck deciding.
This is another nice block. Maybe you could alternate the two colours and make a chequerboard pattern?
I like both colours, I would keep going with new colours.
Personally I don't like 'black'work so I'd be tempted to use strong vibrant colours or variegated threads as you're doing, or maybe different shades of one colour? There are so many options but I think Clare is right, your colour choices might ultimately depend on what you are intending to do with the finished piece. Good luck deciding! :)
