When I see gorgeous bouquets of tulips at our local farmer’s market, I know warm weather and bright sunny days are here to stay. The greens of their stems and leaves are bright and fresh, and the colors of the petals are endless, from pure white and pastel shades to rich jewel tones and even black. And these bright, fresh colors are a beautiful jumping-off point for your next crochet or knit project. With the colors in this color palette, you could create sweet cotton tank tops or colorfully striped market bags. These colors would also make the sweetest layette items for a new baby. How do these colors inspire you?
