Spring Palette Inspiration From ohsweetie

From Diandra of ohwsweetie: Living on the west coast of Vancouver Island often means months of grey and rain between our mild winter and the sweltering summer. The days are best suited to layering, or at very least a thin jersey layer under your wool coat, knitted sweater, or hoodie. Year round I’m inspired by Grey, but tend to leave charcoals and slates for fall and winter, and picking up dove, light, and silver greys in the spring. This spring I’m looking forward to mixing my greys up with hints of pastels and primary colours, ala Vionnet. I also have a grey pullover sweater I’ve been knitting to wear all season. The yarn is dyed by a Victoria BC fiber store owner and called Silver Birch! How fitting! XO
