Knitting is the new black. Have you noticed all the knitting happening lately? Not just here, but all over blog-land. It's so inspiring. I've picked up my knitting needles after a long break and it feels really good. Winter is the perfect time of year to snuggle up under a quilt and knit.

When choosing the color order for the stripes it's important to look for contrast. I thought I had it just right until I was knitting the second stripe of grey. Maybe I should have added a cream like the sample? I'm going to keep going and hope that the mustard color helps tie everything together. Come on mustard!

ReplyDeleteLove your color palette here Adrianne. I think the mustard will set everything off beautifully!
ReplyDeleteYou're so right about knitting /crochet projects infiltrating quilter blogs/ig/flickr. I was also inspired to pick up the old needles :)
That is going to be a gorgeous scarf!
ReplyDeleteI do find it interesting, all the knitting I've seen lately. It's funny because I started my blog 7 years ago as a knitting blog and then slowly gained an interested in quilting and have never looked back. I barely knit anymore, it's so sad! LOL! But it is nice to know that I can pick out some yarn from my bin anytime the mood does strike.
Gorgeous. Modern and so stylish!
