Yellow wool

I am a big fan of yellow, my bedroom is grey and yellow, I have two very nice yellow jumpers and my handbag is yellow, however, I have realised that anything crocheted in yellow looks like it was made in the 70’s by my grandmother! I made a blanket for a client who liked spring colours – spring makes me think of daffodils and baby chicks – so yellow then. I was a good proportion of the way through the piece when I realised it reminded me of a picture of a pair of 1970’s flares that I had sent to a friend in jest. Definitely not spring, I very quickly went back to the drawing board, and ended up mixing some very pale yellow with spring greens and a hint of pink. The end result was certainly more ‘spring’ than comedy flares, but I do have a lot of yellow wool in my store cupboard now!
