I decided to join the crowd this year and participate in Knitting and Crochet Blog Week. I do not promise to be here everyday. Life might hit me and it might be the first and the last entry this week from me, so let's see how far I come along.
Colour. My all time favourite would be red. But if I look at my wardrobe, then I do have many browns, blacks, blues and reds. After my pregnancy I did not want to buy all new wardrobe as I was aiming to get back to my initial weight. That is when black and brown took over. I am trying to dare more colour in my outfits, like this Paulie cardigan in Wollmeise (about which I am yet to blog more extensively).
Most of the time my knits are used as accessories to brighten up the outfit. And I do not single out any colour for that. I love my Side Slip Cloche hat just as much as my Honey cowl.
Knitting has made me more open to colour. I do not have any green among my knits, but I feel ready for that. The more accomplished of a knitter I've become, the more appreciative I am of indie dyers and their strong and often unique colours.

That Wollmeise is certainly colourful! I think a lot of us struggle with being brave enough to wear really bright colours - we love them, but we don't want other people to hate them!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your post. :-)
That cardigan is glorious!
ReplyDeleteMind you, the cowl and the rich blue hat are lovely too!
I reach for these colours all the time - fantastic!
Love the cardigan and the colours too, although I can't make a cardigan in those colours. My skin will turn so pale, so it's nice to see it on your lovely blog. By the way, I took a peek on your ravelry projects and you have some skills girl!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I luuuuuv sushi too. Have you seen the sushi hat on ravelry? It's been on my to-do for ages.
Been wanting to knit a Paulie for a while now - yours is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic cardigan. I´ve got lots of green knitwear, but I think I might be ready for some orange/yellow like yours. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour cardigan is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe color of that cardigan is awesome! Same with the other two projects you've highlighted. I really do love bright colors myself, it just makes the item unique since you usually kind find of those colors in a clothing store. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG - just HOW MUCH do I love your cardigan? That colour combination is a dream and something I should definitely attempt. Your post totally inspired me
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting - I am the same. Knitting really opened me up to colour too. Like you, it tends to be accessories etc. I find greens quite easy to wear but that fantastic orange/yellow creation (stunning!) would push me outside my comfort zone. Lovely post - thank you. Hope to see you throughout blog week.

That is a stunning, beautiful cardigan!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fabulous cardigan, looks really great on you, what a fantastic colour, particularly for brightening up dull days
ReplyDeleteNuostabus megztukas. ir kuo daugiau variantų (ir tokių spalvingų kaip tavasis) matau, tuo labiau maga ir sau nusimegzt..
ReplyDeleteI love your bright cardigan! Your post made me realize that I don't have any green knits either. Something about green seems kind of intimidating.
