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!

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?
