Knit and Crochet Blog Week!

Sticks and String
I had seen my friend, Liz (over at Reckless Knitting), mention this a while back and then promptly forgot about it.  Then when I read her post today, I thought, YES! I want to do this. So, here is day one of my knit and crochet blog week posts....

Today is all about color.  I love color.  I find that I am drawn to brighter colors, but I also love a good palette of pastels as well.  I'm a big fan of autumn colors... ok, I guess there aren't really colors that I don't love.  If I had to pick a color that I didn't like, I would say my least favorite color is purple.  I find when I look in my stash, I have very little of it.  I do like it, but I guess I don't tend to buy it.  Here are some pictures of quilts I have finished (or plan to...) to give you an idea of my color palettes...

I don't feel like I tend to stay in a certain color palette, I love color and like to have a lot of different things to choose from.  And, yes, I know this is knit and crochet blog week, but I am better at taking pictures of my quilts that my yarn stuff. :) A quick tour of my Ravelry project page shows me that I have knit a lot of green and yellow in the recent past... not too surprising as we didn't know that Sawyer was going to be a boy and I have knit a fair amount for him. There are some pops of other colors in there, pink, blue, grey... no purple. Maybe I will need to branch out and try something purple next. I'm sure in my giant stash there has to be something I can use that is purple....

This is my next color challenge. I am going to spin this up to knit a baby blanket (rav link)... I am so in love with the pastel rainbow... my plan is to ply it with a white so the colors don't get muddied. I even actually have a jelly roll and a border fabric with this same color scheme that I could make a "matching" quilt with... how fun would that be! For my grandkid, obviously... since I am so slow at finishing.
