browniness

All of my personal knitting is running to a specific colour theme at the moment - browns and earth tones.

Is it an indication of my mood at the moment? The normal associations for these sorts of colours are sombre, dull, neutral, plain etc. but how I feel at the moment is very different. I'm very settled in to my flat; very much a homebody - out of all of the characters from The Wind in the Willows I identify a lot with Mole - and I miss home when away too long yet I'm enjoying what life brings me!


Earth tones to me are about comfort, richness, depth, reassurance and grounding.

What I've chosen to make with all this rich and sole warming colour also reflects the effects these tones have on me. A couple of wraps and some very anarchic mittens...
