Yep it’s yet another shawl

I love colors but when I open my wardrobe it mostly consists of the happy color of …..black. I think it’s mostly due to the fact that I am a plus sized woman and was always told from an early age that black made you look slimmer. It also makes you look like you work in an undertaker business but I had to figure that one out for myself. It took awhile to do so. I felt secure in my black clothes and in the beginning color made me feel kind of vulnerable.

I decided to take the I will wear more color pledge and try to wear something colorful everyday. I haven’t thrown all my black clothes away though I just try to mix them with some color. Like a shawl! Since I am a compulsive shawl knitter it gives me lots and lots of opportunities to tell myself that I need to knit yet another one….

This is my latest, a bright blue with green crocheted border and tiny crocheted flowers in scarlet and orange. Knitted in a cotton and linen mix. Here I am wearing it with my new raincoat. The long sought after raincoat.

With colors like that I will be singing in the rain.

Take care
