Seasonal

Our lives are a perpetual adventure of seasonal influences. Every year we pine for the cooler winter days, then after far too many of them, we are desperate for the warmth that summer brings. Every season also brings a subliminal list of decisions that we make without realising. They are habitual, appropriate and sensible, all designed to make our lives a little less chaotic and more comfortable.

For those of us who don’t have the luxury of a walk-in-wardrobe, we do the seasonal clothes switch (SCS, not the furniture store) and we get the chimney swept ready for the cosy open fires during the winter months. There are items of clothes that only ever worn at particular times of the year and for me, I tend to create certain products depending on the weather. 

The production of my crochet tops and summer scarves usually don’t happen in Oct - Jan. Likewise I don’t tend to make many beanies and winter scarves in the warmer months. My production is as seasonal as the seasons themselves. Knitting a scarf with lovely chunky wool and size 20 needles in July just doesn’t happen, it almost feels wrong. 

There’s something for every time of the year, for everyone and for every occasion in my repertoire. Colour My Dreams is an all year round, seasonal business and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
