Color color color!
I love color. My entire wardrobe is black, dark blue and grey. (Maybe an occasional orange) so maybe you don’t know that I love color. I buy these colors because they’re easy to match and also because I love color. Nothing pops like a bright yellow scarf against some dark grey sweater or a hot pink cowl against a navy blue coat.
So when I saw this book up on Netgalley, I just had to look at it. What does Jesie know about color that I don’t!? I must find out!
I really liked the layout of the book. The pictures were colorful and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I only had 16 pages to review and didn’t get a chance to peak at the patterns, but I would be interested in finding this book in the wild and looking through it to see if I wanted to do any of the patterns. (It’s been out for almost a year, but I haven’t been able to get to a bookstore and look through it.)
I like the color wheels and the discussions of color at the beginning as well. I remember my third grade art lessons so none of this was a surprise, but I liked the refresher and it would help a lot of knitters who are intimidated by color or by matching colors in a project.
This is a great book and I am excited to find it to look at the patterns. This is also a great book for beginning crafters!
