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. 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 See… it’s not so bad? Related

Family Dates Sign I made these for my mother and grandmother for mother's day. I originally saw something similar on Pinterest and since I use my craft time as time to do my own thing I don't do instructions for crafts all that often and didn't save it. However, they turned out really well and I'm pretty excited about them. Things you will need Wooden Circles(1-1/2 x 3/16 in)-enough for each person or event you plan to include Wooden rectangles(1 3/8 x 1 3/4 x 3/16 in)(12) Various colors of acrylic paint Paint Brush Sharpie Paint Pen Large Wooden Sign Thin wooden letters Fabric Mod Podge Eyelet hooks Round Jump Rings 12mm(can be found in jewelry sections of craft stores) List of dates Wood glue Razor blade Drill I started by drilling 1/16th holes into the top and bottom of each circle and rectangle making sure they were directly opposite each other. Once all the circles were drilled, I divided the circles into families and assigned each a color. The sign is where I feel you can be the most creative.

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:
