Sunny Crocuses

We found more signs of spring in the Village yesterday:

The palette:

Like a swirl of monastery robes, these saffron jewel tones need to be presented in great swaths of saturated colour.  I envision collecting the yarns and assembling them spontaneously, in a freeform garter stitch or log cabin-ish style.

For a somewhat literal botanical reference, one could join the squares with tidy stripes of green and white:

Amazing eye for color. I love that idea!

All we ever see around here are the purple and white crocuses. Of course, to see those it would have to STOP SNOWING for more than a day or two. Enough already...

I love it! I see it as an entrelac blanket!

they are so bright and cheerful- it almost looks indecent... compared with the winter dullness. how I miss color!

Gorgeous colors!

This time, every year, I say, "I've got to plant crocus for next spring!" I wonder when I ever will... Thanks for sharing. I love the blogs in springtime. ; )

This might just have to be my next MITER!!! Thank you so much. And thanks for commenting today. :)

As someone who never cared much for oranges/yellows, I certainly changed quite a bit - these colours are now my absolute favourites, probably due to the fact that they never fail to cheer me up. And so did your photos today - outside it's quite gray and dreary, but the sun came shining into my office through your photos and the palettes - thank you so much for that!

Very cool. Your bottom grid reminds me of Frank Lloyd Wright stained glass.
