With Spring on the horizon, I’m diving right in to the current pop color trend. Of course, considering the palette of my yarn line, Sheep(ish), it’s not really as much as a trend for me as it it just reveling in what I already love — bold, saturated color is right up my alley!
Over the coming weeks, I’ll be focusing on several pop colors sharing with you inspiration boards, as well as yarn-y project ideas to incorporate the respective colors into your knitting/crochet life. First off: coral! Here’s just a few favorite items I’ve found on the web using this color. If you’re Pinterest-inclined, you can follow my Pop Color Trend: Coral board. I’ll continue updating it as I find more cool, coral finds.
Adding a pop of color to your home, can be easily achieved by including some bright throw pillows in the decor. My Perfect Square Pillow lets you do just that, and in a flash — the pattern uses a double-strand of Sheep(ish)! It’s knit in garter stitch, but uses the mitered square technique to create interesting, directional lines. Top it off with your favorite, graphic button and place your pillow on your bed or couch. Your room will look like it got a fresh breath of trend air!

It’s hard to believe it’s already been almost a year since Vickie’s Wednesday’s Snood pattern came out. We’re excited, though, to be able to revisit it with our new kits! Snap to it! (Link in bio, or go to YarnYAY.com)...
I am devastated by the loss of @hillcountryweavers founder, Suzanne Middlebrooks.
I wrote a longer tribute to her on my blog and Facebook (links in bio). In short, though, she had been sick for a long time but had been a master at not letting the illness get in the way of her living. So, it was often unimaginable that she wouldn't be with us for longer. Last June during an industry convention in Chicago when Susanne came over to the bar booth I was sitting at and plopped herself next to me to chat, I had no idea that it would be the last time I'd get to see her. I'm so thankful though, that when we parted ways to go back to our respective meetings, it was with a hug. Rest in purls, my friend....
Bold color is something that you definitely do well!
I’ve liked coral for years. About time:) it’s popular.
Fabulous and I love the button in the middle. Here is something you may want to try, an easy cable knit pillow
