Morgan

A colour you won’t have seen very often in my past colour combos is purple! I’m not really sure why but it’s just not a colour I’m often drawn to, particularly blue tone purples. I find purple quite a ‘cold’ colour and I’m naturally drawn to warmer colours so that’s probably why I’ve neglected it.

It’s good to come out of the comfort zone though sometimes and I really wanted to challenge myself to come up with a combo that included blue tone purples. 


 
Morgan has four shades of purple! I really wanted to embrace this colour family! I’ve added some greeny blues and a sage and bold olive green to work with them. 

I chose the name Morgan as one of my followers on Instagram mentioned how ‘witchy’ the combo looked which is apt considering we are so close to Halloween! Morgan Le Fay is of course the witch/enchantress in Arthurian legend but Morgan is also a great unisex name and I think this combo lends itself well to any gender so it seemed a fitting choice!

I’m making a growing granny square, placing the colours in no particular order. 

This combo is Yarnsmiths Create DK in the following shades

  • Deep Purple
  • Amethyst
  • Lilac
  • Pale Lilac
  • Petrol
  • Vintage Teal
  • Light Sage
  • Olive Green

Still a work in progress at the moment although I do have plans for another mini granny border……yes I’m still obsessed with mini grannies!

Alongside the granny squares I’ve also been  working on a V stitch blanket with the same combo. V stitch is brilliant, just a one row repeat, great texture and grows quickly! You can find my video for how I do this stitch here…(I may do it slightly different to others!)
