Knitting and Crochet Blog Week: Day 1

  3KCBWDAY1  Colour Lovers

Welcome to the Third Annual Knitting and Crochet Blog Week! This is my first time participating in this spectacular event and I've enjoyed preparing blog entries for it.


Today's Topic: Colour is one of our greatest expressions of ourselves when we choose to knit or crochet, so how do you choose what colours you buy and crochet or knit with. Have a look through your stash and see if there is a predominance of one colour. Do the same with your finished projects - do they match? Do you love a rainbow of bright hues, or more subdued tones. How much attention do you pay to the original colour that a garment is knit in when you see a pattern? Tell readers about your love or confusion over colour.


I looked through my Stash/WIP/FO discovered a lot of soft blues, purples, and pinks:

This was a fun exercise as I realized that I don't have any greens, yellows or neutrals. Something to consider for future projects!
