A note for Pinterest users: I have noticed an uptick in Pinterest traffic from pins I did not create nor are they related to the content of my blog. As an avid Pinterest user myself, I understand how frustrating it is to click a pin only to find completely unrelated content on the other side. It is a Pinterest-wide problem and a bane to all bloggers. These pins are bot-created (for what reasons I cannot even fathom). I do my best to find the original sources of the pin images and post the links in the Pin comments to help you find what you are looking for, but these pins are so numerous it can be difficult to stay on top of it. Knotted Up In String is a crochet blog, so if you do happen to like crochet, feel free to stick around. I’m happy to have you!

Get ready for some spooktacular fun with my latest yarn color palette, inspired by some boo-tifully spooky Halloween cupcakes. The bright green icing of these deviously sweet treats contrast against the dark, possibly haunted backdrop, with the cupcakes topped with pumpkin decorations and whimsical black and white striped witches’ legs. This fun, playful photograph perfectly captures the excitement of Halloween and serves as the inspiration for a yarn color palette that’s sure to bring the magic of the season into your crochet projects.
This color palette features bright green, rich black, pumpkin orange, and bright white, all inspired by these playful Halloween cupcakes. These colors are perfect for creating projects that embrace the spooky spirit of the season, from fun Halloween-themed blankets to quirky bags and festive wearables.
