My mom thinks grey is too drab. She has always preferred bold colors such as black and red. But there is something about grey that I like. Not so long ago I purchased a few relatively expensive blended yarns in a Singapore shop and picked up three colors - mauve, grey and dusty orange. I left the orange out and decided to go for just the purple and grey tones.
After a few nights and days of coffee, tea and design changes, the crochet motif is finally completed. There is a white rustic table in the front porch which I thought deserves a little color. I placed one of the few succulents in the garden but unfortunately most of them have been parched.
I am happy with the colors. It reminds me of autumn, overcast skies or winter days. Whatever it is, gives me that calm and peaceful feeling. Whenever I crochet, the colors play an important part. After all, I have more colors in my room from all the yarn stash and colored pencils which I certainly cannot live without.
