Purplicious

My section of Purplicious, an Oddball Baby Blanket, was knit with Simply Soft (Lavender Blue) in Seed Stitch. The purples did not photograph in their true colors, simply because of the concentration of blue or red in the yarn, but trust me, they are all purple.

Purple is not one of my favorite colors; however, it was a dominant color for the school where I taught for 25 years, and I grew tired of seeing it everywhere. The building was literally covered with all shades of purple. The bulletin boards above the hall lockers were purple, the carpeting throughout the building was mauve, the bleachers in the gymnasium were royal purple, hallways and common rooms had bold purple stripes, etc. Staff were encouraged to wear purple on "game days" to help boost school spirit. I had a lot of purple in my closet in those days - shirts, coats, hats, etc., purchased from the Booster Club.

Have you grown tired of a color from over-exposure?
