the blue blog archives: the color purple

For some reason, I have been really drawn to purple since becoming a knitter. The new year's sweater I made for myself last year was in in a pink/lavender/purple colorway from Noro. This year I desperately tried to get some purple into my greensleeves sweater and I already have some luscious purple chenille in the stash for a Starmore sweater I hope to make this winter. Of course the two Phildar knitalong sweaters will be in hyacinth and lilac. And then there's purple tank girl. I am loving the color of this top so much that I can't bring myself to return to all those stripes on Pagan. Mmmm... purple. I think I will have to finish this quickly before so I can wear it while knitting other things!

I have no idea what you're talking about. Purple? Really? Now, who would like the color purple? Must be that your boys are watching too much Barney. ;)

Mmmm, lovely! As long as it isn't Barney Purple it's a go in my book! For me it's chartreuse! Is that even speeled right. OK, Lime Green! Any shade and neon. and it even looks good with some purples!
