Yarn Everday #8

By Tara, on April 14th, 2009

A few days ago, I snapped a quick picture of my dogwood tree as I walked in the house.

On the 8th, for the Yarn Everday Challenge, I pulled together some colors inspired by those flowers:

Pink, pale green like the center of the flower, cream (dyed with tea) and brown for the branches (also dyed with tea).

Spun together, they recreate the bit of color and calm that the dogwood adds to my life.

Dogwood is available here.

That is BEAUTIFUL. I love the subtlety of the colours.

Seriously gorgeous Tara (they yarn and the photos – oh those blossoms!). And a lovely post about your inspiration.

The dogwoods are in full swing over here – possibly one of my most favorite of all my favorite spring things!

I love dogwoods. I had them on my mind earlier in the spring, when I couldn't get to sleep and stayed up to knit one (!). It's lovely to see how you express them in spinning

that's a feel-good colorway. I love dogwood in blossom. You have captured it.

Very nice! Subtle and springy at the same time.
