On this cold, dreary January day, I’ve decided that 2014 is
going to be my year of color. I want to
experiment with all kinds of color combinations, and get a bit out of my
comfort zone. I recently discovered http://design-seeds.com/. Wow!
Talk about inspiration. I have to
be careful or I’ll find myself spending hours going through the different color
combinations. Another great site for
inspiration is Attic 24 at http://attic24.typepad.com/.
Last year I mostly concentrated on shawls. I crocheted and knitted them, designed them,
and started one after another throughout the whole year. This year I seem to be leaning more toward
motifs resembling handmade Spanish tile.
The more color, the better. I
predict colorful shawls, scarves and blankets in my work basket.
To get my year of color started, I participated in a hexagon
blanket crochet-along on Ravelry. We used a
pattern called Hexagons by Julie Yeager.
You can find the pattern at http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hexaghan. Here’s a photo of my finished blanket.
I haven’t been keeping up with my blog like I should. I hope to do a better job this year by adding more content, tutorials, and inspiration for all my fellow yarnies.
Stay warm everyone.
