For the love of Colour!

I love colour ( who doesn't )!! I see inspiration in so many things. Mentally, I'm always breaking images up into balls of yarn and crochet projects. I like fairly simple palettes and get confused with too many colours. Five colours seem to work best for me. I may add one extra colour for an accent. Also, I enjoy making colour palettes, using Microsoft Publisher, from images. I'm a very visual person. If you want to teach me anything, you'll have to draw pictures! :D

I usually always use one or both of these yarns. Elle Family Knit DK or Elle Pure Gold DK. They are both good quality acrylic yarn, and also reasonably priced. Especially if you're into crocheting blankets and afghans. Although the Pure Gold is a bit softer, working them both into a piece hasn't been a problem for me. Both DKs come in a lovely selection of colours, and that's why I mostly choose them. Naturally, they are free of animal fibres, so suitable for Vegetarians ( like me! ). Naturally, I give names to my little colour palettes. It helps with remembering what's what!
