in…you should hook or knit something with Red Violet and Deep Blue Vinnis yarn.
The Sheep is very clever and stylish. He won’t give you bad advice, or make you buy expensive yarn. #obeythesheep

inOn a Monday I can still remember the fun I had over the weekend, Wednesday is the middle of the work week, on Thursday I start getting hopeful and on a Friday I can taste the weekend. But what about a Tuesday? It’s so…. just there. Weekend memories are too far away and the upcoming weekend might as well be a year away.
What we need is a bit of colourful inspiration to get us going on a Tuesday, don’t you think? A pretty picture, beautiful scenery or colourful imagery. Yup, that’ll liven up Tuesdays and turn it into a terrific day!
From now on I will go through my photos and Pinterest likes every Tuesday and find us a pretty picture to add colour and joy to the day.

Yesterday I showed you a collection of all the beautiful things I saw at the V&A Museum but today’s Terrific Tuesday focuses on only one of the inspiring pieces: Turkish tiles made at the Iznik potteries near Istanbul in 1580. They might be more than 400 years old but they can still inspire us with their beautiful colour. The Vinnis Nikkim yarn in this colour palette is available here.
Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday.

I adore the tiny pink flowers of my Alpine “Saxifraga” ground cover.

I love this photo I took of the Basilica of the Sacré Cœur (Sacred Heart) in Paris. It’s not so much the Basilica that I like, but the contrast between the jumbled colours and shapes of the hundreds of people in the foreground, against the solid imposing shape of the stone Basilica looming over them. For the colour palette I mirrored that contrast by combining a natural and stone shade with the three primary colours. These five shade will make a piece crochet or knitting with a beautiful balance between colourful and classic. In other words, a piece with French flair.
Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday.

Neutral colours with a bit of yellow. Sometimes that’s all you need to make a huge impact.

Isn’t this field of wild flowers beautiful? Do you see the tiny dew droplets twinkling like stars in the morning sun? Good ol’ Mother Nature at her best. She gets it right without even trying.
Luckily we crocheters and knitters can copy her perfect taste with beautiful yarn. I think a lacy shawl or afghan made with an open, feminine stitch pattern would do these wild flowers justice. The dew droplets can be glass beads! What would you make?
Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday.
