The Power of Color: Knitting Palettes Inspired by Nature
Encourage Better: Knitting Adventures In Alaska07/07/23 • 36 min
Imagine knitting with a color palette that resonates with your own personal experiences and connection with nature. It sounds magical, right? Well, that's exactly what we'll be exploring together in this episode. I share my own journey of finding color inspiration in the beauty of the world around me. You'll hear about a unique knitting project I worked on using a color palette which was a departure from my usual color choices, and the reactions it garnered. So, forget the traditional color norms, embrace the infinite color possibilities from nature, and knit with a color story that truly speaks to you! ( Definitely head over to the blog to see more!)
Before you wonder how to select the right colors that would work well together, let me assure you that the color wheel is your best friend here. It is something I didn't dig into until later in adulthood and I learned some interesting practices that are easy for you to replicate, too, so that your knitting always delights you and never disappoints! I'll guide you through the basics of the color wheel, starting from the primary colors and how they combine to form secondary and tertiary colors. We'll discuss the concepts of complementary and analogous colors, and even monochromatic color schemes, to create harmonious and visually appealing color combinations for your knitting projects. So, forget the traditional color norms, embrace the infinite color possibilities from nature, and knit with a color story that truly speaks to you!
