Everyone get ready to have some phenomenal ideas, because the 2018 Pantone Color of the Year is Ultra Violet!
I love when knitting inspiration finds me. Anything that can give me a fresh or interesting way to approach my projects is always welcome.
When Pantone released their 2018 color of the year I realized that I can’t remember the last thing I knitted in violet. It’s such a beautiful color and their choice really made me wonder why I hadn’t used it!
I saw this as a fantastic opportunity to explore for myself new patterns and yarns in this captivating color, and decided to share my findings with you.
Some of my favorite …
