Color Group: Geo

When thinking about this month’s color story and where we would draw inspiration we knew we wanted it to be around the Valentine’s Day holiday. That is where the “date night” or “night on the town” concepts emerged. When looking for that perfect image to capture the palette we had in mind it was a bit of a challenge, that was until we found the classically vintage vinyl cover of Rod Stewart’s A Night on the Town album. One of Rod Stewart’s most iconic and seductive songs came from this 1976 album, you know which one. The styling of the album cover with its heather violets, sage greens and deep blacks, summed up the decade. The patterns this month are designed to be the perfect accessory to pair with your little black dress, because remember “tonight’s the night”.

The featured yarns are from KnitPicks Palette Yarn Collection. This fingering weight yarn is perfect for color work and comes in a wide range of colors; we love it for just that reason. It’s hard not to want to buy up every color.
1) Black
2) Marble Heather
3) Clematis Heather
4) Aster
5) Mist

Have an addiction to vinyl? Who doesn’t! That is why we love SLEEVEFACE, a clever twist on album art. Beware, you will lose an hour when clicking into this site. There is just so much to see.

Inspired by the Geo color group this capelet features a minimalistic rib and eyelet pattern. Right now you just see the rib pattern, don’t worry it’s not complete yet… The tentative plan for finishing is a cowl style neck.
