Things often described as delicious: candy, cakes, fresh fruit, the perfume of flowers, the softest yarn. This was my inspiration for June’s color story. I’m so excited about crochet summer, I decided I’d let my mood board decide what color of Road to China Lace I’ll be using for my project!
That’s right – pink. Bright, beautiful, fuschia pink. Personally, I feel that if “sweet” were a color, it’d be bright pink. If “happy” were a color, it’d be soft pink. If excitement were a color, it’d be gleaming, buzzy, hot pink. I’m ready to pour all these cheerful pink feelings into some crocheting!
I’ll be using Rose Quartz to crochet up my Water Lily Shawl for Crochet Summer 2016. Â However, when* I’m done, I want to immediately try to crochet the Feeling Dotty Shawl by Sandra Paul. Â I think it is one of the most fun shawls I’ve seen! I love how using different colors in different ways can totally change the look. I think I’d use a combination of Rose Quartz, Rhodolite, and Tanzanite for bold and playful version.
