Knitting & Crochet Blog Week IV – Day 3+4 My colour review – a infographic

Knitting-and-Crochet-Blog-Week-2013As Wednesdays are my Yarn Along Days I decided to mix the topics for Day 3 and 4 of Knitting and Crochet Blog Week. The assignments were: Day 3: Make your own infogaphic (no fancy imaging software needed, you can draw it on paper and photograph it if you want) to convey any element of your craft(s).

And for clothing at the moment es it is spring I really enjoy everything coral and peachy (see my Gemini top). So when shopping for yarn I’m normally drawn towards that colours but I usually buy what I think I can turn into something nice.

Now I checked my stash. Continue reading
