come to the dark side, we have pretty colors

                                      The wonder of dark hues 
Hello my friends-it's Avy again. I have been knitting up a storm lately. It's the season for bundling up. #sweaterweather 

My personal favorite colors to knit with are any of the darker hues. This includes burgundy, plum, navy, I would even venture to say auburn. 


I love to knit with these colors because they are so rich and wholesome. Also, wearing these colors makes for a fabulous outfit this season. This is because of the contrast that is created. When you wear a navy sweater made out of a thick wool yarn you stand out among the oranges and yellows of this season. It would not make a good picture for you to wear an orange sweater, standing in front of an orange/yellow/brown background.

Plum is a great color that compliments someone of any skin tone or hair color. The blonde with the palest skin, the African woman with an ethnic hairstyle... both can rock plum.
