The colour of love

On February 14, 2014, in Mystic Roses, by Anna

As everyone knows, red is the colour of love.  I certainly have a special affinity for red.  When I design, I really try to vary the colours I use, but red definitely keeps coming back.  More often than not, really.  I do love a good red.

One of my favourite reds is this red that I used for Mystic Roses:

The yarn is from Wollmeise, and the colour is called Rosenrot – i.e. rose red.  The colour was definitely a big part of the inspiration for this shawl.

In the years since I knit Mystic Roses, I have worn it to numerous yarn festivals, teaching events and other yarny occasions, and it never fails to capture people’s attention.  If I do say so myself, I am incredibly happy with how it turned out.  It is still one of my favourite shawls, and I wear it often.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
