If I should choose two colors, and only two, to knit from the rest of my life it would be these two. Bright red and bright turquoise.
It may be because they fit me so well or simply the fact that they are a perfect match.
I can see from my projects that I tend to use these two together a lot.

A fun little detail on my scarves. |
And what puzzles me sometimes is that people are always trying to renew everything.
That feeling when something is new is so nice. But everything gets old and the feeling disappear.
If you are wearing the same colors again and again you get a lot of comments like: Do you not have anything new to show for? Why do you always use the same colors?
We must always thrive after the new whatever that is.
We must always be on top regarding design and color.
And to be honest - what are we really trying to achieve?
Why is it always "wrong" to knit the same all over again? And even in the same colors?

Not always easy to arrange a photo.. LOL! |
I have simply logged off all those thoughts about always being better, knit new things and keep up with everyone else.
And I must say - that makes me happy.
To just create as I like it. To use colors I like and wear them with a smile.
That endless competition on being best, being seen and post huge amounts of photos in social media has left me thinking: Is it worth it? Do I feel better of it? The answers are no.
So, I have taken time off from a lot of it. And must say that blogging always has been fun.
And visiting others blogs are so lovely. Like knitting the same scarf all over again in my favorite colors :-)
Are you just creating what you like no matter what others may think or say?
Or do you feel that you should renew all the time and post photos every day?
