4KCBWDAY4 - Colour
Looking back through projects, I can see one colour come shining through: Green.
I'm not picky about the shade either; it can be any from lime to grass, jade to olive. I find it a calming colour to knit and so knit with it a lot. It suits my skin tone and my (albeit dyed) red hair. I have my first sweater (Narragansett by Thea Colman) made from Rowan Felted Tweed in Ivy; a jumper that I wear quite often during the winter. There's also the Umaro knitted in a lime green acrylic yarn. My living room is green too.
I also find that I knit green yarn for other people too. It's a lovely go-to colour when you're not sure. Everyone likes at least one green. I knitted a Henslowe for my mum, a lacy scarf for my sister-in-law, Dragonfly Wings for my mother-in-law and a Puerperium Cardigan for a friend's new arrival. All in green. Green, green, green, green, green.
So, don't worry about a thing - it's all green.
