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!

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?
