Thanks for the colour ideas! I like neutrals a lot, so I'll try to remember that next time I'm picking yarn. I also have a lot of similar colours right now, so I could probably do something with shades or analogous colours.
>>You can also use color theory. There are online sites, phone apps, and cardboard wheels so pick based on where you will be working to choose your yarns and what kind of tools you prefer.<<
Oh neat! Those were some cool links, and it'll help give me a starting place, if I'm not sure what colours go together.
>>A shortcut is using a palette from something designed by a professional. Take a multicolored top or bracelet or whatever and look for yarns in similar colors. Chances are if you have a range of colors you like, you'll pick them in multiple areas of your life. Like I gravitate to blues and my favorite neutral is black, so I have a lot of those.<<
This is another good idea. I have a lot of patterned tops I could use for inspiration, and some multi-coloured bracelets. I gravitate towards greys and red myself, though I do have a decent variety of colours.
>>There are a lot more tools now than there used to be. Some time when you're in a craft store, look at the tools and books to see what they have, rather than just shopping for one thing you need.<<
I usually forget about the extras, since I'm usually distracted by the pretty yarn. It's a good thing to keep in mind though for the next time I go shopping.
>>There are a TON of gorgeous bullet journal pages like that. Many folks really enjoy drawing their own pages and the results are beautiful.<<
It always amazes me how creative and artistic people are. My pages are very simple, but they suit my needs, so that's good enough for me.
>>I'm trying to get your poem done too.<<
It turned out great! I really liked it a lot! :D :D :D
