I gave a sneak peak at my current project, Sunny Blue Hawaii, a few weeks ago. I'm loving these colors together. I had started out using the turquoise, white and gray, but it just wasn't doing it for me. After I switched to the bright yellow, that was it!
I'm crocheting a simple granny square and letting the colors do all the talking.
Of course, the more colors you use the more ends there are to weave in. I don't mind weaving in ends but I like to do it at the table usually while chatting with my mom. I crochet a bunch of squares and then sit down to weave in the ends.
In the following picture I have about 10-12 squares done. I need 35 and currently have 25 complete. I like to crochet while I watch TV. I have a bunch of DVR'd shows to watch so hopefully I'll knock out the last 10 in no time.
What do you think of this combination of colors?
Please leave me a comment with a link so I can return the visit!!

ReplyDeleteI love blue and yellow, the colors of spring!
ReplyDeleteI think you've nailed it with the name "Hawaiian" - it certainly reminds me of somewhere tropical with blue sea and golden sands with white wave foam. That blanket is going to look so crisp and clean - heavenly :) Learning to crochet granny squares is on my list of things to learn this year! Special Teaching at Pempi’s Palace
