I have read two articles which has been a great inspiration. One is from Knitty by Robin Dodge and one is from Knitter´s Review.
At present I work a shawl with two thin threads and it gives me an opportunity to mix both fibers, wool and alpaca, and colors. My inspiration comes when I look into my garden and see how Autumn changes my garden.
A few years ago I knit a cardigan.
The bright yellow and the subtle green turned into this color.
Both your shawl and cardigan are so beautiful! I love the two warm, rosy red and deep orange for the shawl. They blend to make a color that just shouts autumn. I, too, am a color addict. I was in theater lighting design classes mostly because of the color theory sections. What pattern is the shawl you are now working on?
ReplyDeleteI love combining colors in that way as well. Today I was out riding with a friend and the autumn colors were so lovely. I was thinking of yarn, and it turned out she was thinking of quilting fabric!
ReplyDeleteLove, love love your colour combinations!!
