Here are colour palettes made into projects...
Blues - This blue v-stitch blanket is a variety of blues, changing the colour every row. The pom-pom yarnbomb used many shades of blue like the v-stitch, some one colour, some mixed.
Purples - yarnbombs and mandalas for Fibromyalgia Awareness coaster, blanket in progress, a shawl...
Peacock or Jewel v-stitch and a Courage Flower - (free crochet pattern under drop down menu Crochet Patterns.
I loved the quilted bedspread colours, reminds me of peacocks. I used many scraps in the finished blanket and these are the colours closets to the ones I used. It was a very mixed bag of DK 8ply and light worsted yarns brands scraps!

Amelie's Blanket V-stitch plus shells
My current work in progress. A queen size blanket.
Pastels plus - Floral Cushion - flower blocks and granny square backing. This was a scrap busting yarn project during Covid lockdown and I had to use whatever I had on hand. I wanted happy bright pastel rainbow colours.
Pastels - Finished Perfect Peace Blanket and inspiration. Made during Covid Lockdown so yarn availability influenced it.

50s Inspired Christmas Wreath

Sunny skies and green fields in my Peace in 8 Rounds Mandala, a free crochet pattern and the colours of Lake Esrun, Denmark for Martin's v-stitch blanket. Work in progress and have added more blue-greens than pure blues.
Winter blues - I think of icy blues and whites, like the dress Elsa wears in Frozen. Perfect for snow themes.

Pale Pastel changed to Bright Pastel
Daisy Blanket - I was thinking soft pastels until my Aunty said she liked bright happy spring colours. She loved it.

I wanted a scarf to match my claret gloves for the cold winter weather in the Blue Mountains. I made a variation on my own V-stitch scarf pattern freely available here under Crochet Patterns or click the button to take you to the pattern. Mine is wider so add a few extra rows if you prefer a wider scarf to skinny. I decided to just use the three colours.
Orange, Pink and Purple
is a vibrant combination. |
Autumn colours
