Color Theory 101: selecting yarns that go together

Color Theory 101: selecting yarns that go together
A lot of patterns going around at the moment feature stripes: two or three colors that go together perfectly. You could follow the colors suggested in the pattern sample… but you want to try something a little different. But how in the world do you pick a colors that go together? Color theory. That’s how! Most yarn lines contain a wide range of of colors. Whoa! But don’t fret. It’s not all of the yarns, of course! Most yarn companies design their colors of yarn with compatibility in mind. Fortunately, there’s a name for the art of picking colors that go together: color theory. There are three color schemes that, if followed, will create knock-your-socks-off color combos: analogous, complementary and split complementary. Analogous Analogous colors are the ones that are next to each other on the color wheel: This scheme can work with any number of colors… pick two that are next to each other, three or four! Complementary I love using complementary colors. Split Complementary Related Related:  Knitting...tricot

How to Soften Red Heart Super Saver Yarn *Please note!* if you are crocheting/knitting for hospitals or preemie babies this may not be a good method. They prefer no product has been used on yarn of donated hospital items. This week I crocheted a Nyan Cat themed lovey for my impending baby. I worked up the blanket part and it is bad - it would be scratchy and coarse for a baby at least. After a day or so of research and experimentation the blanket actually came out super soft :) It also had wonderful drape which I did not expect. Take note that I had already finished the blanket part when I started this process, I don't know if this would work on the yarn itself before it's been worked up. Step 1: Rinse in cold water Step 2: Shampoo thoroughly, rinse twice Step 3: Working in sections, saturate entire piece with hair conditioner Step 4: Let sit in cool water for over an hour Step 5: Rinse thoroughly Step 6: Run it through the lightest wash cycle your washer machine can accomplish. Step 7: Put it in the dryer. That's it, you're done!

Madeira and anchor-works best with browns and skin tones. DMC- works best with rlly bright colors. Play around with it. Stitches per inch- I always use 18(7.1 per cm). Size- I try to stay within 8.8 inch ro 10.0 inch. Step 3-Select your pattern -When you get to step 3 you'll see your photo as a graph.

Mahala Mandala crochet square | Y u l i Hello! Its me again with free pattern / photo tutorial. This time I would like to share with you crochet Mandala that I made last summer but it was put away in one of my many baskets and forgotten((((( . Because I can be very disorganized… not sure if its part of being creative person or is it just one of my character minuses or pluses (depending how you relate to chaos)))) So few months ago while browsing through my stash…ta da I found it!!! I quickly pulled out Vinnis cottons, made few different color combinations… the flower shape of this motif can create awesome summer shawl, can be used as applique or table runner/coasters… and many other pretty things! Then I decided that it will look great as a square motif, so I re designed it and now it can be used in many different strait and square ways – blankets, cushion, vests, tops, bags… you know what I mean;) So here it is Mahala Mandala! ~ Mahala Mandala crochet square ~ You will need ~ 4 mm hook; ~ tapestry needle ~ scissor Abbreviation Note:

Intro and a Free Pattern This blog has been in the ponderings for a while. Yes, I made that up. It's my blog. :) I'm excited to start documenting the creative things inspiring me, and hopefully you'll catch some inspiration too. Whether I am crocheting or sewing, working on some project, or taken with a particularly exciting idea... I'd like to share with you. So to get on with it. Rainbows and Hearts Blanket (Updated 9/21/2013 This pattern has now been completely redone. I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn but any yarn would work. When changing colors: --Changing color after a sc: Insert hook into stitch below, grab yarn with your hook and pull through the stitch, grab the new color yarn with your hook and pull through the 2 loops on your hook to finish the sc. Chain a multiple of 12, plus 2 more (I chained 146 for a blanket 46 inches wide.) To Make the Hearts: You continue the same stitch pattern as above when working the hearts. With all my patterns feel free to use for personal use, gifts, and charity.
