Some girls get diamonds: my husband got me a paint chart. And I can’t tell you how happy I am! Often when I am looking for colour inspiration I turn to Mother Nature, she just gets it so right: well so do the lovely people in Scandinavia, especially those in Norway. Last year, when Si and me visited Norway I was blown away by the WHOLE country. I expected to fall in love with the culture and outdoor lifestyle, what I didn’t quite expect to fall in love with was the colour of the buildings…
Reds, blues, oranges, greens, whites (in every shade), the buildings just oozed colour. The colour was simply inspirational. I loved it. Naturally I wanted to recreate the colour in crochet work. So, I needed yarn that reflected the colours of the buildings. Early one morning, while in Norway, Si went out for a walk. He came back beaming with the fact that he had found me a present. My lovely, lovely, man had been into a DYI store and in his best Norwegian (which is actually very good) explained to the bewildered man about his wife’s love of colour. He came back with colour charts…
What better way for me to colour match my yarn, to the colours of Norway, than through a paint chart…
Some girls get diamonds: me, I’m happy with a colour chart!
