Color Play: An Exploration of Self and Inspiration

Encourage Better: Knitting Adventures In Alaska

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH ME!

Ever had a moment where you're humbled by simple wisdom? That happened to me and it hit me - much like our passion for knitting, love is boundless and abundant. This epiphany transformed my approach to knitting, sparking an exploration into the world of color I'm sharing with you today.
Together, we'll navigate the language of color, and qualify terms like 'value' and 'color combinations'. Our trusty companions on the journey are our swatches—I know! I know! swatches!?! But seriously, these humble squares hold the secret to understanding how colors contrast, blend, or interact, providing invaluable insights into how your final project will take shape. We'll play with a variety of shades, from dominant colors to neutrals, and the show-stoppers—variegated yarns. Learning to balance their energy and complexity with solid or semi-solid colors can add an entirely new dimension to your work.
The culmination of our journey is a celebration of the unique individuals we are. Like any artistic endeavor, our journey through color in knitting is an expression of our self-worth and creativity. Let's embrace the vibrant colors of our personality, reflect them in our projects, and inspire others. Buckle up and grab your yarn, as we embark on this enlightening exploration of color in knitting.
