Color Palettes into Unique Skeins of Yarn

Here's what I'm doing with my colors: I take yarns left over from years of knitting projects, work out a color palette, then combine various textures and colors into a sequence. The lengths of yarn are tied together to make one-of-a-kind skeins. See examples here: http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=188779607810876

If you have a main color in mind, you can search for palettes using that color-- you'll be amazed at the variety that comes up.

Most of my palettes are based on the colorways of skeins I've already made, but I'm also starting to create the palettes first (many based on my own photographs), then translating the palettes into skeins.

Have fun with your crocheting!!

My sincerest apologies for not posting this in the proper place but the "bugs" thread is not letting me post.

For some reason a whole heap of stuff doesn't seem to be working properly. Noone's palettes/patterns are showing up on their profiles, just the bio and recent comments, I can't edit anything and none of the drop down menus are working.

Is this happening to anyone else or is it just me?

I just love this. The peachy colours look so calming and serene and then there's the grey and the turquoise which gives off a 50's feel (which I just love on its own). It's a perfect colour palette for this summer.

Check out the new homepage!

Contrary to the cliché, not all artists are solitary creatures. With Tagtool Touch, collaborative creation is the name of the game - it's easy to hook up several iPads over Wifi to paint in the same projection.

Tagtool Touch is ingenious entertainment for visual people. It's an educational activity that helps break down social barriers. Above all, it's a serious artistic instrument, for inspired and authentic visuals.
