If anything in the summertime can inspire gorgeous color palettes, it’s the farmer’s market. With stalls bursting with fresh produce and handmade goods, farmer’s markets are awash in color. I couldn’t resist this photo of a market stall, the delicate greens from the stems and neutrals contrast beautifully against the rich purples from the onions and beets. I can imagine so many different crochet and knit projects using these colors, from colorfully striped blankets to sweet layette items in delicate cotton. What would you make with this color palette?
