Knitting & Crochet Blog Week, Day 1

KNIT & CROCHET BLOG WEEK 2012

Day 1 topic:

Colour Lovers
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.

My response:
In reviewing my completed projects...most of them seem to be done in neutral colors. The exception seems to be baby blankets. I guess I am finding that I need to explore more into the world of color. (another goal to work toward...)
As far as the attention paid to the color the original pattern is done in...I would say that I look at the pattern color and see what others have done with that pattern, sometimes it doesn't look right with a certain type of yarn or color (in my opinion!).
I adore "colorwork patterns" (ie: patterns knit or crocheted with multiple colors) but I have not had the nerve to try them.
