I have a problem with colors.\u00a0 I am always second guessing myself if I need to work with more than one color.<\/p>\n

I almost always use one color, and if I don’t then it is usually a self striping or varriegated yarn, very rarely will I mix colors.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons I am knitting the Uncoordinated blanket<\/a> is to get out of my comfort zone and just add colors randomly.It appears to me that most colors can coexist peacefully in a blanket without trying to runaway or kill each other.<\/p>\n

I looked through my flickr<\/a> stream and found some read projects most of them quite recent.\u00a0 Red is powerful and very hard to photograph too.\u00a0 It is a passionate color.

Rainbows are always a big hit in our household. Who doesn’t love rainbows? They make you feel warm and fuzzy and happy inside.

I thought I didn’t knit in green a lot but I guess there is more than a fair share of green projects under my belt.

Pink is a common color when you have a little girl who screams peeeenk peeeenk when you ask her to pick a color.\u00a0 Luckily she has moved onto purple these days.

Blues, of course lots of blues.\u00a0 I have more blue projects than any color.\u00a0 I love blue.\u00a0 Blue is calming. Blue is me.\u00a0 I crochet or knit in blue when I need to relax and find my peace of mind.

And it also turned out I have quite a number of more than one color project.\u00a0 I think the reason I don’t do a lot of multi color projects is my aversion to weaving in ends.\u00a0 But I think I need to rethink that attitude because they do look gorgeous in the end.
