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!

I love this still-life photograph of a Father’s Day gift. The rich shades of blue from the tie, and ink on the coffee mug and handwritten envelope are dreamy. The neutral browns and tans from the envelope and the weathered table ground the palette and create a classic, yet stunning color combination. This palette could be used for any number of crochet or knit projects, from blankets to sweaters, ties to summer accessories. Whether you use these colors to create the perfect Father’s Day gift or use the color palette as a jumping-off point for an entirely different project, you’ll love these colors and the projects they create.
