Color inspiration

The Farmers' Market in Holland, MI is open every Wednesday and Saturday morning from late spring until early fall.  In addition to getting freshly-picked produce and gorgeous flowering baskets, it's also a great source for color and texture inspiration for my knitting.

Right now, I'm crazy for just about any shade of green.  I'm working on a pair of boot toppers using Shepherd's Wool worsted merino in a great shade called Ivy.  I'm using a cable pattern called Sand Cables.  Cables are usually created on a background of purl stitches, but this pattern uses all stockinette with cables.  The cables flow from one to another, and the result looks somewhat like a highly-textures fabric (pictures TBA to be added)...beautiful!
