I've decided to participate in the 3rd Annual Knitting and Crochet Blog Week, and the topic for the first post is colour. This has inspired me to take stock of my colour choices in life, and examine what I like and what I don't, colour wise.
When looking at my wardrobe and clothes choices, these are the major colours present. I wear a lot of black jeans and black t-shirts (usually band t-shirts), with the odd pink, grey or white t-shirt or hoodie.
Unless I'm wearing my uni colours which are:
Apart from this, there are a few colours which are very rarely seen in my clothes:
There is a similar picture with my yarn stash and projects:
And my
pinterest boards show a similar theme:
So it's obvious that I'm not a rainbow girl. I love colours, but only those taken from the second half of the colour wheel. The thing that got me thinking is, why, if I love colour, do I wear so much black and grey, and why do blue and purple feature so heavily in my choice of yarns, but so little in my clothing? I do have a purple t-shirt, and a blue t-shirt and cardigan, but the majority are black or pink if I'm feeling bright.
I think I need to branch out and experiment with colours. I love the way that pink, purple and blue interact and compliment each other, being similar colours and yet so different and distinct. And I love pairing bright colours with black in a way which highlights both but causes the bright colour to stand out.
Plus I don't think I could ever bring myself to use orange yarn...
