My favorite color is blue - I know that's such a common favorite. The reason? I love water. Sitting by water is calming to me. It makes me feel at one with the universe. I say it's because I'm a Pisces (water sign). Or it may be that I lived in San Diego for about 7 years. All I know is that water relaxes me. (I know that water doesn't always look blue, but when I think of water, I think "blue".)

Oh come on, I truly can't just pick one. I LOVE all colors, even brown because if you open your eyes and look around, color makes the world beautiful and joyful and just plain happy. Wouldn't life be horrible in a colorless world?

My favorite color is purple. I'm not really sure why I like it so much, but back in the 80s, I had a "great" outfit that was solid purple knit (that's right, a knit shirt AND knit leggings). For awhile after that style went out of fashion (was it ever really IN fashion?!), I sorta shunned purple, but now, these days, purple is a key color in the logo at my workplace, and so I'm liking it again.

Congratulations!! My favorite color is pink! I had three boys and saw blue in my sleep! For my 4th baby I dreamed of pink and sure enough; a baby girl was my prize! I dressed her in pink everything until she was 6 when she decided blue was her favorite color!! I still love pink.

Congratulations!!

My favorite color is blue - because of all the different shades of it, how it goes with almost everything, and because of the ocean (though that didn't come until later).

I love the color yellow, well I love to look at the color yellow, but I really don't have any of the color in my home. I think the color yellow makes me look like I have jaundice or that I am ill. Maybe its those icky flourencent lights that they have in stores that make it look all wrong, but I wish I had the courage to even try to wear yellow. It is so sunshiney and happy and just fun. I want to be fun, but I get stuck in the same ol' blue and greys. I toss in an occasional pink, green or purple, but even these are muted tones of the "real" ones. I guess I am just afraid of color in general. Being too bold or too loud, that is except with my socks. I love bright, stripey, polka dotey socks. The crazier the better and they don't even have to match. Well, I guess I have rambled on enough!

Pink. As a South American friend of mine said once (cue sexy South American accent) "Pink...it is...too sweet for the eyes."

I love purple. I can't really say why. All I know is that when I fall madly in love with a yarn it's always purple. Perhaps it's because red and blue are also favourites but you get them both in one beautiful colour!

Blue used to be my favorite color (and still is, sorta) but I got really tired of it because I seemed to be using it all the time to knit things for my boys. Now my favorite color is pink, which can only be used for me. :)

Oh Congrats on the cards!!!!!! Need to get the issue my sub expired. Oh I like a lot of colors so hmmm don't really hate a color, so okay a color I've always wanted to wear, knit... Yellow!!! Since I'm a blond and fair complexion I think yellows wash me out, might be the subcons. reason I don't buy yellow yarns. But I love yellow, my kitchen is yellow and sage green and my dining room has yellow accents.

Hugs!!!!

Congrats, Cara! I saw this last night and I was really happy for you :)

My favorite colors are purple, red, orange and brown. I love warm colors, they feel so well, warm and comforting. I think it also helps that these colors really work best with my skin tone, too!

Congratulations! The cards are lovely, the article was lovely, too.

I would say my favouritest colour of all is plum. It just keeps coming up as tops for me. Strangely enough, when I look at my recent projects, I've knit a whole lotta orange lately. This totally surprises me, because when I list my top colours, they're all sorts of shades of purple and green, and then there's blue. Orange doesn't register as a favourite on any scale. I think I was trying to bust out of colour ruts this year or something, and it kept coming out orange.

My favorite color is lime green in all of it's incarnations because I have red hair and am one of the few people in the known universe that looks good in that color!

Plus, I've never been hit by a car in my lime green running shorts!

I hate blue. It's depressing and sad. It's supposed to calm people down but it just reminds me of how when I was a child my mother's favorite color was blue and she painted everything in my bedroom blue, this awful shade of blue, and made curtains ouf of this scary circus fabric and put a giant clown sticker on my dresser and even now, today, at 33 years old, I'm terrified of monkeys and clowns, and am afraid to close my eyes at night, because the clowns and monkeys loom in the blue walls and darkness to eat me in my sleep.

Hi there!

As many others have said, my favorite color is blue. I find it a calming presence that invokes peace for me. I love that there are so many varied shades too, from the palest essence of blue caught in a snowfall, to the fresh bright blue of the sky on a sunny day, to the deep introspective blue of a sunset right before it turns to the black of night.

My favorite color is green. It reminds me of growing things and of being vibrant and active. One of my favorite winter coats is a bright green peacoat I bought from GAP a couple of years ago. It has a brilliant turquoise lining that thrills me every time I put it on and makes me feel like I'm hiding some sort of secret while the rest of the world walks around in winter drab greys and blacks. I have received many, many compliments on my green coat ever since I bought it and it boosts my spirit during the winter season when the world around me is hibernating.

Green. I love green in all it's shades. Mossy green for the shady woods I love to hike in, the light spring green of the rolling hills in the Berkshires where I grew up, the Chartreuse in a brightly dyed roving to spin, a deep emerald to contrast my red hair in my clothing and the multi faceted golden green of my loves hazel eyes. Green. Can't live without it :)

It's hard to pick just one, but I'm going to go with teal. The darker and richer the better. I think I like it because it reminds me of the ocean, a deep, dark, multi-layered ocean where there are a lot of different colors and things going on below the surface. A good teal blue looks green in some lights and blue in others and I think it's particularly lovely in a yarn that takes dye very strongly and has a bit of shine (cashmere-silk is my favorite!). Plus, I look great in teal (especially since I started dyeing my hair dark red), which is always important.

I just love color, any color! Except gray. Gray is not a color. (Sorry Cara! Your Oblique is gorgeous anyway!) I had a picture of your pile of mitered squares on the desktop of my computer for a while. They're so amazing!

Congratulations!

My favorite color is blue. Any shade of blue is fine with me. I am not sure why I started liking blue so much, but it just seems like a color that is nice and calm.

Thanks for the contest too!

I love orange right now. I think it is because I love red and yellow and when you mix those, you get orange. I really love how colors play next to each other and can look completely different depending on what is paired with what.

My favorite color always seems to vary, and yet I always seem to come back to green. It's got everything. Some neutrality, some boldness, it occurs naturally and there are some shades that are totally not natural. Green is good.

Congratulations, Cara!

I love red. My husband loves me in it. He says it makes me look hotter... how sweet! Plus, being the colour of the Canadian flag, you can't go wrong with baby gifts knit in red whether or not you know its sex. AND I'm Chinese. Red is always lucky. Can't go wrong with Red.

I'm really, really, really trying to learn to love green. I can only wear certain shades without looking ill. But I find myself drawn to it while yarn shopping, admiring the celery, and the kelly, and the olive and the moss... but I'm just not brave enough to buy one and bring them home! Maybe this year I'll venture out of my comfort zone and knit a green object of some sort for myself. We'll see!

Green. Grassy green, apple green, limey green. Not forest green. I love its brightness and its coolness, its affinity for browns and aquas and yellows, its ability to change with the light. Ahh...green.

My favorite color changes from time to time, but lately it's been red and orange. I love the brightness and warmth of both. I am not usually one to draw attention to myself, but if I have a day where I'm feeling down about the way that I look, I have a favorite red sweater that I wear with stripy red & pink socks and red shoes, and I feel better.

I used to say that my least favorite color was purple, but now that I can see my yarn stash all spread out before me on Ravelry, I have a LOT of purple in there, so I will have to revise that and say that my least favorite color is one very particular shade of purple, and I don't know the exact way to describe it...Maybe royal purple? Like a deep jewel tone purple? I dunno, something about it reminds me of the 80s (and I like the 80s! Just not the purple part of it)...Ah, I know what I'd call it: Prince Purple. That's it. *shudder*

Congrats on your Vogue appearance, Cara! So exciting!

I love to knit with RED (as a quick peek at my stash would demonstrate)!

It seems I have a mental block, because every time I go yarn shopping, having sworn that I. Will. Not. Buy. Any. More. Red. I end up with at least one skein in my hand anyway. I think part of the driving factor is the cold weather. I need a really strong colour to stand up to the bleakness of the scenes outside.

Purple. Purple. PURPLE!

I've loved purple since I was a little girl and you like a colour just because. Then, after 2 boys I had a girl and had to dress her in pink because they just don't make baby clothes in purple. I was seriously bummed.

I also like Green a lot. And I married a man who's name is Green. My 7 year old likes turquoise, not blue, turquoise.

Congrats on the magazine. Your photos are beautiful.

My favourite colour is pink. Having been through two male-dominated education programs, pink is a symbol for me that I can be in these professions and be a woman and still be taken seriously - reclaiming the colour, of sorts.

Congrats on the Vogue mention.

I really hate pink. I don't exactly know why. It could be that pink makes my skin look blech, or it could be the girly-girl image that used to be associated with pink (I now here real men wear pink) makes me slightly queezy. The irony of all this is my 7 year old daughter for whom I banned all pink clothes when she was born is the queen or should I say princess of pink. Oh well.

My favorite color is green. It's the color of life and it goes well with every other color too. It's the color of spring and the color of the evergreen tree in winter. Be sure to eat your leafy greens. How much fun is it for SF writers to come up with stories about "little green men". Kermit the Frog sang "It's Not Easy Being Green", but it's the color I like the best:~)

Congrats! Happy colors to you! It's too hard for me to pick a favorite color. I love greens, reds, browns, golds, peach, orange and so on. But I do have a strong aversion to purple. Not all purples, but more like the purple of the gloves on the cover of your Vogue Knitting. I think mostly I don't like it because I look pasty, puffy and generally ill if I wear it near my face. I've also heard that purple elicits strong feelings in people because it's a combo of red (warm, advancing, bold) and blue (cool, retreating, calm). I'm a conflict avoider. When I see purple, I guess I see conflict and that's another reason I don't like it.

I cannot abide pink. Let's see, when I was young, my parents bought me a pepto bismal pink boiled wool blanket for my bed. That's bad by itself. Fast forward to my late highschool years. We moved into a house and my parents put me in the room with Pink carpet and walpaper with pink flowers. The bathroom (I was lucky enough to have my own little bathroom) was pink too. Toilet, sink, shower floor and this wall paper had pink swans.

In addition to that, if I wear pink, or it gets anywhere near me, I turn that color. Pastel pink makes me look like I have some kind of plastic weird skin in a uniform pink, darker pinks make me look like I have a serious all over sunburn or a nasty rash. Not to mention pepto bismal is pink. Even the smell of that stuff can make me instantly vomit. So, yeah, my least favorite color is pink.

But to balance the bad with the good, my happy color is yellow. It makes me smile. I have a yellow house, I used to have a yellow living room and I have a yellow wall in my office at work. It's the wall with the door so I can always look up with a smile no matter who comes to my office door. It's a mood lifter for me and it gives me great joy.

Purple! I love purple because it sings to me. There are so many different shades of purple, some have more red and other more blue, that you never can lack for variety.

My favorite color is purple. Purple is a rare color in nature, it's hard to find. When you do find it though, you can't take your eyes off of it. It's no wonder that purple is the color of royalty. I imagine purple dye was expensive and hard to come by back then. While it's more common nowdays, it's still headturning.

I love green. Why? There are many reasons, for example, green is nature's neutral. It goes with everything under the sun, and comes in so many varied tones from yellow to blue. But I also think it's funny what sayings go with green.
I'm green with envy.
The green eyed monster has me!
I'm feeling green. (unfortunately you know what that one's like)
She's a greenhorn when it comes to making sales.
Before the show, he hung out in the green room.

And of course, the most common now
We all need to live Green!! :)

Congrats on your write up in Vogue. That's fantastic. :)

I love black! Yes it is too a color :)
It goes with everything and I know that it won't go out of style.

My New Year's Resolution is to make something in RED. Love red. Says you know who you are.

Congrats on the cards~ They jumped right off the page at me, knew they were yours.

Black! I'm sticking with black until they come up with something darker. I've always liked black (to wear), in TCM, it's associated with water, and therefore a nourishing color. I do like blue too, but mostly wear black. hard to knit with though

I love hot pink. Or in another incarnation, a very deep rose. I have adored it since the days when I needed to get a new box of crayons because the only color that was completely used up was magenta. I actually got a hot pink jacket this year...and I love it! And it seems from the comments, that everyone else does too. And the funny thing is that I can't tell you why I love the color...I just do! And whenever I wear deep rose or hot pink anything, everyone always tells me how good I look that day. They say things like, "Did you change your hair?" or "You've lost weight, haven't you?" I don't know if it's because I love the color and therefore feel more confident, or if the color just makes me look better. I haven't really thought about it that much before, but thanks for making me think about it. Oh, and congratulations on Vogue. Can't think of anything that fits better in the color issue!

I don't know that I have a single favorite color. I tend to become infatuated with how colors work together. Green and purple. Blue and orange. Brown and turquoise. Lime and chocolate.

When we were planning our wedding the first thing I did was run my desire for Color past TheBoy. Luckily, he's pretty flexible so I got to have a turquoise, chocolate and bright orange wedding. Some people were a little skeptical at first, but in the end couldn't believe how well it worked.

First, congrats! I was reading the issue over lunch at work the other day, and blurted out a big "Wow" when I saw the article. Hope it brings in a lot of business (and surely more blog subscribers). My favorite color is turquoise. For me, it's beautiful, happy and soothing all at once.

My favorite color is somewhere between olive and forest green because when I wear it, it makes my eyes "fiercely green" according to my first boyfriend :)

Hi Cara! I never comment but always love reading your blog -- your photography is inspiring and your entries are always great reads. My favorite color: PURPLE -- becaue it's girlish, but strong; lighthearted, but serious at the same time; and in my most favorite sunsets. I never realized that it was my favorite color until I started knitting and suddenly accumulated stuff that had at least some purple in all my favorite garments. Happy New Year!

My favorite color is BROWN. Chocolate is brown, pie is golden brown, my hair is auburn-brown, my freckles are honey-brown, my bridesmaids wore brown, I have fair skin so my mascara is brown, my eyeshadow is brown. Girl Scouting is brown, my high school colors were orange and brown. Brown is friendly to all colors. It goes equally with white and ivory, you can wear it with black, it's like the new denim, but friendlier. Oh I could go on indefinately.

Congratulations on your beautiful cards. I just started on my miter yesterday, and am balling up all that cotton. They make beautiful pictures, all those glorious colors, (that all match with brown). Congrats!

Congratulations on the cards! They are beautiful.

As for a favorite color, I do love them all in their own way, but if I had to choose a favorite, I think it would be green. And then blue. I especially love how they go together. They're both such natural colors and can be soothing for that reason. And then a close third would be red and all its shades--just because it's so deep and powerful

My favorite color is red, red, red! I cannot get enough of it. A nice deep red...my kitchen is painted Madder Root (a MSL color) as well as a powder room. I can't think of anyone who doesn't look good in red, it's powerful, warm, happy...I just adore it.

My favorite color is dark, eggplanty purple. I think partially because I like black, but I also like color and it is a good mix of the two.

When I was in college, I thought my university colors of brown and baby blue were absolutely hideous. In fact, I went as far as saying that they looked like Smurf poop. Fast-forward to now, and suddenly I am obsessed with deep, chocolately browns set off by robin's egg blues! I guess marketing works and I am susceptible to the latest color trends, because now my alma mater's colors seem fantastic.

Congrats on appearing in VK!

I would love to wear pinks & reds but they just make me look flushed! My current favorite color is green. I find that I'm drawn to it and one time even painted my kitchen celery stalk green! Congrats again!

Oh, I love a color I never expected to...it's the clear, deep, dark brown of my children's eyes. When my kids ask me what my favorite color is, I always say "The brown of your beautiful eyes." They've heard it so many times that, if anyone else ever asks me in their presence what my favorite color is, they state it just like that: "The brown of our beautiful eyes." Natch.

Red. Is there any other color?
Congratulations! the cards are lovely, I wish you many sales.

My favorite color is black. Actually, my true favorite is a combination of black, gray and red. I love the bold, dramatic statement that they make together. It just touches something deep inside of me. I would knit everything in those three colors if my friends didn't stop me. Generally I like any jewel tones and dislike pastels but I'm wishy-washy enough to find exceptions to the rule.

Congrats on the magazine!

Congrats on Vogue. That's big, no HUGE. I'm very happy for you.

Now for the contest: You may disqualify me, but I could never pick one color. I LOVE color. Just love it. I respond viscerally to color. And I need them all. Honestly I think I would die without color. I've worked in color in publishing as an adult and in crafting since I was a little child (made my own doll clothes starting at age 5). I couldn't pick one color; it would be like picking your favorite child. Color makes me happy and makes me smile. Color gives me memories I thought I'd forgotten. Color gives me ideas. Color makes me feel creative when I usually just think I'm a copycat. Color can make me undepressed on a day like today when that's what I need the most!

For a really long time, my favorite color was purple. I think partially because it wasn't red or blue, which seemed to be everyone else's favorite. So I bought a lot of purple stuff, and realized I looked kinda ridiculous. Purple in moderation, sure, but there's a homeless woman in my neighborhood that wears purple head to toe, literally (hat, scarf, jacket, pants, and shoes!) and that sort of turned me off. I've been knitting a lot of green lately, so I'd say that's my new favorite.

Way to go, Cara!! As for colors--I hate TAUPE! What a stupid, non descript color (or lack thereof! And it seems that no one can quite figure out what color that really is! I'm reminded always of the urban sprawl in Las Vegas--miles and miles of homes that do not posess any real color at all-TAUPE. Ugh. As for colors I love- I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the burnt orange pumpkin color of fall. I find it soothing, warm and wonderful. (And, as a strange twist of fate, I wear it well. Never thought I could until I was in Lake Tahoe with my best friend & we went shopping. "Try on that sweater, girl!" she says to me. "But it's ORANGE!" I respond. "DUH! Look in the mirror!" And with that, my love affair with the color orange was born. Congrats, again!

Caribbean water blue. I don't know another name for it. Darker than sky blue but bluer than teal. I seldom see that brilliant blue outside of indulgent vacations, so maybe it's my favorite because of its association with happy times. Even in writing this comment, I feel calmer and more relaxed thinking about the gorgoues hues of Caribbean Water Blue...yes, I capitalized it because I decided it is the new official name.

Many congratulations on the magazine mention.

My favorite color? Orange. Why? I don't know.. and considering the fact that I live in Tennessee where every UT football fan decks out everything from their mailbox to their minivan in orange, you'd think I'd steer clear. I never realized that orange was a favorite until a few years ago. My boss at the LYS where I teach pointed out to me that all the yarn I was ogling was orange. She was right.



Now... two years later... my cellphone is orange. So is my wallet. I have to stop my self from buying all the orange sock yarn I see.



It just brings me a silly joy. It's bright, warm, and different. These are things that I try to be.



Of course... every other color in the world is my favorite color of the moment at least once a week. It's one of the pleasures of spending so much time swimming in fiber.

Congrats! Mine is green. Why? Because I'm Irish!

My favourite colour depends on my mood and what I am seeing around me.

At the moment its red; there's so little red around outside, everything is cold and I need warming up even if only visually!

Congratulations on being featued in Vogue Knitting.

First of all - congratulations! That must be so cool to see your cards on the pages there.
As for my favorite color... I would have to say grey. It is a color with so much depth. And, it's the color of my husband's eyes. What can I say - I'm a sucker!

one color i have always been afraid to wear is red. i thought it shout out "look at me!" well, this past fall i went ahead and bought a simple red tee. sure enough, people at work said "well, look at you!" but the consensus was that i looked good in red - even my husband commented that he liked me in red! maybe this year i'll have the guts enough to try purple....

My favorite color is the bright green of moss on a rainy day. No use trying to duplicate this, it will just look too garish in reproduction. (That is my reason.)

like many, my fave is blue.
for all the above reasons- the sky, the water, its rarity (and therefor specialness!)in nature.

I also love blue because it is my role model.

Blue is easy.

Blue doesn't make demands on me like other colours. Yellow says look at me, validate me, acknowledge me. Orange is always being clever and making a statement. Red is down right agressive and controversal. Pink is always cloying in anything more than the smallest amounts. Purple and green are tempermental, swinging from soft and gentle to loud and belligerant between the slightest hues, both requiring more thought and attention than any shade of blue. Brown and grey are gentle and neutral, but both overwhelmingly drab in large amounts.

Blue isn't needy. It doesn't need the other colours to spruce it up or tone it down.

Blue doesn't overwhelm.
Blue is confident enough to be understated and patient.

Blue is kind and respectful.

Blue is ready for my every mood and never asks me to justify.

Blue acts the way that we all should.

The one color I can't really bring myself to wear is yellow. As an "autumn" my coloring is suited to it, but as a natural blonde I find the notion of dressing in yellow to be something out of Barbie.

Congrats!!!!!

As much as I would love to knit for others with this color I just cant stand it to see on on myself. Yes, that color is PINK. I'm not sure why, okay, maybe its because of the whole thing that Pink is for girls and Blue is for boys and I try to to go by that rule.

Anyway, I am very forgiving to the color Purple instead...lol!

My favs are teals, browns and greens

Cobalt blue- I have always wanted to ingest it so it could be a part of me. As a child I dreamed about putting the copper enamel powder over ice cream!

I have always loved deep dark royal purple. When I was in high school I made myself a dark purple wide wale corderoy suit. I may have loved purple before that but I knew from then on that that was my favorite color.

congratulations, that's fantastic!

I have two favorite colors, purple and green. I think I'm leaning more towards green now, mainly because everything is so brown and sad during the winter. Green reminds me of spring, health and happiness, I love the outdoors, everything is green and thriving, makes me feel like I'm surrounded by happy people and life :).

I also wanted to say that I want to knit with oranges and reds, but am scared because I never know if they look good with my skin tone.

My favorite color is red. But I have no idea why! I think because it is so vibrant and exciting. Plus, I look great in red.

My most favorite color is Red..because it goes with everything! It reminds me of the Chuck Taylors I used to wear as a child..every single time I knit with it.
As for colors I don't like puke green (wasn't that so lovingly named Pond Scum?) because you know what I'd be thinking of while knitting with that.:)

My favorite colour is Green. For a while, I stayed away from it since I had too much in my wardrobe. These days, it dominates my knitting stash.
I think it must make me feel connected and calm.

Green. That's all I have to say. Just green.

I love green. Bright green, like the inside of a lime. I love it because...man, I don't even know why. I only know that it's my favorite color because when I see that shade, just the perfect green, I want to shout and scream and leap.

oh dear, There are so many that I love, but I have to say my most favorite is a sunny orange to a burnt red and everything in between.

Second is my dear Tupelo Honey Gold with an earthy green coming up close behind!

I wouldn't say orange is my favorite color, but it's such a great color for knitting. Especially when one is blue-eyed and has similarly colored progeny.

You can go rusty orange for fall, vibrant orange (think cremecicle) for summer, and something pale and wispy for spring.

Pair orange with yellow or red and you have intensity, with blue for balance and accent, with black or brown for total hipness.

Red is and always will be my favorite color! I think it's genetic, because it was my grandmother's favorite as well. I think I'm drawn to red because it's bold and strong, two things I strive to be myself. Still, it's also a fun and flirty color, which is definitely an accurate description of me!

What a great issue to have your wonderful cards appear in! Congrats!

My favorite color used to be blue, and it still is in many ways, but there was an overabundance of blue around me, so... I am finding myself drawn to purple. Not a whole lot different, perhaps, but now the blue knits are not just blue, they now have some purple, and sometimes some line or olive green. Purple is a great backdrop to other colors, and I am trying to incorporate more color all around me, and purple pulls them all together nicely. Purple is, well... regal, though that's not why I like it. It can be fun, and it can be serious. It can be elegant and completely irreverent. It can be masculine, and oh so feminine. It really is a perfect color. And it has blue in it, so I am not betraying my beloved blue :-)

I just love a warm golden pale yellow - the color of sun rising in the caribbean, or maybe the interior of a French cafe. Either one just delights me and makes me feel happy.

I'm a dishwater blonde, so I'm always afraid of wearing yellow because I usually look hideous in it. Yellow is a happy color, a color that can mean sunshine, spring (daffodils and crocus), joy, warmth, any number of things. But on me, it just looks like I yakked on myself. And of course, I went and married and brown haired and brown eyed person who looks fantastic in any shade of yellow that he wants to wear. *sigh*

My favourite colour (to wear) is brown. It's earthy and rich and when I'm dressed all in brown I can call myself a Chocolate Bunny.

Congrats on the shout out in VK!

Congrats! I love your note cards!

My absolute favorite color has always been green. I love green because it is cool and calming without being sad. It makes me think of wooded paths, gardens, grass on bare feet, and childhood. Green is the color of life if you ask me.

The only problem with green? Envy. I have no idea how it came to be associated with jealousy, but we all have our faults, right? ;)

wow! i love it! vogue out of now where with a homerun with this issue ;-)

Well my fav color right now is Green! (can you tell via the blog?) I love it's natural, organic and now Earth friendly meaning... it's just so pleasing to me.

Congrats again!! WOO!

Congrats! That is so wonderful that your beautiful photos are getting the recognition that they deserve. My everyday favorite is green but for sweaters it is red. Way back before I started knitting my Mom bought me a red Abercrombie zip up, hooded sweater for my birthday. I wore that sweater until it fell apart, then I threw(sob) it away. One of my biggest knitting regrets is that I did that. If I still had it I could copy it:( SO for my first sweater I'm knitting the CPH in a gorgeous heathered red:)

I tend to like colors in concert as well.. turquoise and orange, pink and orange, brown and pink, etc.

But if I absolutely had to pick ONE color it would be purple. I like it because it's both cool and warm, depending on how much blue and red goes in :) I can make it work with whatever I want! Love it.

At the moment my favorite color is soft, spring, bamboo, green tea-green. Because it is so pretty! If it shaded to bronze or gold I would be happy too.

When I was a kid my dad would say if asked that his favorite color was sky-blue pink. Of course he was joking, but I had a mental image of this "colour" and thought it was beautiful too.

I LOVE the color green. Brown greens to lime greens. I don't know why. I just like the color green. IT makes me happy, and It is all over, the grass, the trees, my sheets, and my walls. I just love the color green.

Congratulations Cara! That is awesome. My favorite color is green because no matter what is going on in my life or NOT going on...color soothes my soul. I find myself doing anything I can to immerse myself in it when I'm stressed and when I'm happy that's also what I use to express those feelings. But specifically green because I love the way it makes everything a little bit better and lowers my blood pressure!

Deep turquoise blue, like the color of the sea in any tropical vacation brochure. I like blue instictively, an it doesn't hurt that it is the color I'm most often complemented on while wearing, but that particular blue blows me away. at my first wool festival I found two perfect skiens of handpainted wool/silk blend yarn that had large repeats of "my" blue with white and a blacky purple that set it off perfectly. They are sitting in my stash awaiting an inspirational lace project.

My favorite color is YELLOW because it is the color of the sun. It is a bright, happy color. I see yellow and I relax and smile.

I don't knit with it though because I look like kaka in yellow. I knit with (deep) red and (burnt) orange a lot because they look better on me and I like them, too. Actually I like any colors & lots of colors, which is why I love knitting socks.

I don't really mind about winning the contest or not though - I mainly just wanted to say congrats on scoring the mention in Vogue. Yay!

I am helpless in the face of pink - pale pink, hot pink, no matter. Whatever I see it on (not just yarn), I buy it.

Very close second is periwinkle blue. Love, love, love it.

Lime green goes with both of these so why not!

Yay Cara!
I hate no colours. There are some that should never be applied in certain places but I may just be prejudiced against sparkly hot pink cars with white racing stripes . . .
I love deep green and all purples. Green for the woods of my childhood in Huntsville, Ontario and purple. . . . well, just because. Purples simply catch my eye and make me happy. Now that I think of it though, my initial affection for the colour may have something to do with the lilacs I love (and miss) so much

My favorite colors are Purple and Green. Purple and White were the colors of the local high school where I grew up and I wore my brother's football jersey until if fell apart. Green (and gold), however, were the colors of the private school that my sister and I attended. I wore a lot of green and you'd think I'd be sick of it, but no.

My favorite items (clothing, yarn, decor)are ones in which green and purple are incorporated together.

I have to pick just one? I doubt I could do that! Currently I am tending towards blues/greens/purples, although I like the warmer tones too (reds/deep pinks). Blue has always been one of my favorites. It is calming and peaceful and reminds me of grandmother (who passed away about 2 yrs ago) and my mom, both of whom love the color blue. Also, my eyes tend to change color with whatever I"m wearing so I gravitate towards the blues & greens for that reason. :)

Wonderful that you are featured in Vogue knitting-- congratulations!!

I love all sorts of colors, but, oddly enough, whenever I go yarn shopping my hands move straight towards -- the grey! Soft, heathered grey. Fog grey. Dove grey. Pearl grey. Charcoal. Salt-and-pepper. Russian Blue. Mmmmmmm. (Oh, and I've felt strongly since childhood that it should be spelled "grey" and not "gray" -- and now that I'm all grown up I can spell it whichever way I like!)

My favorite color is Orange because it is such a cheerful color. In fact, I have two sweaters worth of yarn in a rusty orange color!

Orange - I can't wear it, I used to dislike it, but lately, I'm drawn to it: rosy-pinky orange, bright pumpkin orange, heathery-orange. Luckily, I have a two-year-old son who looks fine in orange, so I get to indulge in the orange through him.

My favorite color often changes, but for a while now I have been in love with navy blue. I think it is an under-appreciated color in fashion outside of the sailor aesthetic. I find that it goes well with almost any other color, with the possible exception of purple. It makes brighter colors really pop, and adds an almost textural interest when paired with browns, blacks, and greys. Congratulations on your Vogue debut!!

Congrats - that is awesome!
I love your photo's expecially for the wonderful color sense you have. I am still collecting for the modular squares that someday I WILL make. You were my inspiration.
I just love all colors, but mostly any color with dark brown or black. I love the contrast of the two. mmmm brown and lilac, or black and red, or brown and turquiose, or .......
congrats again!!

Befriending the enemy.

I used to HATE the color red with a passion. As a totally opinionated teen I would constantly remind the people around me how much I couldn't stand that color. It was so bright, so loud, so annoying (kind of like I was. hmmm.... that's an interesting thought). All the cool girls wore red and got the attention - not me, the way too tall and heavy-set girl who tried to blend in.

Now, 15 years later, I'm starting to become friends with red. I can now see it's many shades and tones and complexities. It can be both a happy and a sad color.

I've knit a few things with red and have some more of it in the stash.

Though I still steer clear of it while shopping for clothes, perhaps someday I will be brave enough to buy a red dress.

Green is my favorite! I love all of the shades of it. Blue comes a close second... must be the ocean influence :)
Congrats on being in Vogue!

My favorite color is Red, because it has so many different variations that can look good or bad, and it ends up looking good against my skin! :D

Green, hands down. Almost every time I wear something green, I get a compliment. I never used to wear it, but I've taken it on as a favorite.

I have always been afraid of knitting orange. I generally like bright colors. I also have a friend who thinks that orange goes with everything (i.e., it goes with nothing, so it can go with everything). But it's very hard to get shades of orange right--harder, I think, than with other colors. Too much yellow or too much red in the mix can make it look terrible against a person's skin. So I've been questing for a good orange over the last few months.

Congrats on the Vogue shout-out! In an issue all about color, your cards certainly deserve a nod!

Congrats on the Vogue listing! I hope the free press makes your sales shoot through the roof!

As for colors: mine is definitively blue. Any blue. Blue holds a lot of good memories for me.

The churned up gray-blue of the ocean when its raining; the intense blue that almost looks like velvet on a peacock feather; the blue that stuns you with it's blueness when you see a field of pansies; the first baby blanket I knit, a perfect cornflower blue in cotton; my favorite nail polish which my husband bought me, for when I need to look at my toes and be reminded of the beach; my favorite shirt in turquoise, the one I wore the day we met; the soft blue Sari that my grandpa brought from India for his then-unknown wife; my two year old nieces' eyes, clear as a cloudless day.

yeah...I like blue

First of all - CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is totally awesome that you're featured in Vogue Knitting!! I haven't picked up that issue yet (but I'm sure I will at some point - after my baby-knitting obsession cools...) hehehe

My all-time favorite color is RED! I look good in it, it has LOTS of energy, and never fails to make me feel good. I love to wear red especially in the winter when the weather makes me feel dreary and blah - a red sweater is the perfect thing to perk me up and make me smile. I wanted a red car, but at the time, they only had burgundy, which is OK, but not as FUN!

Have fun basking in the color-glory of your magazine feature!!! ;)

This may be the hardest question ever. I've always loved green. I love the deep forest greens and the freshness of a nice grass green. They're all marvelous and i'm drawn to them over and over again. Of course blue is pretty wonderful too, and sooo soothing. Red, now there's a powerful color. There is nothing shy about red. I could really go on and on without finding and colors I dislike... except pastels. Pastels just seem blah to me. I don't even use them for baby knits.

The problem is that my favorite color truly is a seasonal thing. I have some favorites for winter and some for summer....but even then I find that they shift as time goes by. So for now I'll have to shock even myself by saying that my current favorite is turqoise blue because it is a very clear, clean, restful color. (If you saw my yarn stash, you'd understand why I'm even surprised by my answer!)

My favorite color is yellow. I look completely ill wearing it, but I love it just the same. My mother's favorite flower was the daffodil, and my mom passed away of ovarian cancer when I was 16. Now, every time I see yellow, I think of daffodils, and then of my mom, and it makes me smile!

Congrats on making Vogue Knitting! I've just started reading your blog and I think you're a really wonderful writer...and I'm sure you'll make a terrific mom! Keep up the good work!!

My favorite color for many years was black. What can I say - I was a teenager, I was depressed, I wore it from head to toe. Until, that is, my best friend started a campaign to get me to wear color, and got a bunch of my friends at school to pester me each day they saw me wearing anything black.
These days I don't have a favorite color, but I do have a color that I don't like at all - PINK! My reasons for not liking it are a combination of not liking the gender stereotyping that goes with that color (have you ever looked at the "girl toys" aisle at a cheap toy store - it's all pink!) and just plain not liking the color - it's too warm and kind of queasy feeling for me (not to bring on any feelings of needing to puke - sorry!)
I do actually have a couple of pink shirts, but they are dark, rich pink, bordering on fuchsia. I really can't stand medium and pale pink, and I won't even buy anything in that color for my 6 year old daughter - she's learned to not even ask!

Congrats!
My favorite color is red! Growing up I was taught that red was the color of "hussies" (you know prostitutes). But I was always drawn to the vibrance, the warmth and the sexiness. There was a depth to me that even I didn't know at the time. As an adult woman, I have grown into this color and embraced it. I think it pegs me and my disposition - warm, vibrant and passionate!

Plus, what goes better with khakis?????

I love colour, from fire hydrant red to olive green to midnight blue. But if I were to pick one colour I suppose it would be green because it was my favorite in kindergarten. I have no memory of my own of this - if I were to guess I would say that I loved pink, it is a logical favorite for this girl who was even more of a girlie girl as a kid. But years ago I was talking with a former babysitter and she told me a few stories about me as a kid. One of the stories was that I drew everything with my green crayon, the sky, the grass and the dog! She asked me if I wanted to use another colour and I became upset - why would I want to use another colour? Green was great! So my love of green goes far back and we are still great friends though our clique has grown to be a quite inclusive group.

PS: congratulations on the Vogue - I will buy the magazine, if only to see the picture of your pictures.

I am another whose favorite is green. It has not always been that way, as a small person it was pink. However, I am a redhead, and greens are a great color for me, pinks, not so much. Olive greens, forest greens, pine greens, leaf green, grass green, love them all. Greens, like all colors, contain such varieties and depths.

Congrats on the Vogue mention - how exciting!

My favorite color is blue, as it is calming and so pretty to me in all its variations.

Ha ha... I was at the shop where I work this morning, looking through the magazine and i fully did a double take.

I love the color grey the very most. all shades. I have grey eyes, but they reflect whatever color I'm wearing, to a certain extent. Whenever I wear a grey shirt or sweater, people stop me on the street to tell me that my eyes are the EXACT same color as my top.

My favorite color would have to be a tie between lemon yellow and bright orange. The reason for both is that I can't help but smile when I see these two especially when they are together, I mean come on how can you not really?

My favorite color is blue, but really, I'd have to go for most of the cool colors. I practically grew up in water and I've always been a stargazer, so blues, greens, and purples are both soothing and mysterious to me. Any tones that are reminiscent of water/the ocean or the night sky and the Northern Lights will always attract me like a moth to flame!

And belated happy birthday!

My favourite colour is green, specifically sort of a lime-avocado-spring colour. Medium green. Its the colour of spring and new life and never fails to make me feel a little bit special when I wear it.

Congratulations on being featured in Vogue! And since I missed it on the way by, Happy Birthday!

It's weird, my favorite colours are very particular shades - for example I love fuchsia; but not really purple and not really pink, because it reminds me of the bushes outside my house when i was growing up. And I love periwinkle blue, you know, the colour of my first pet budgie (named after Hanson's home town Tulsa, I was 13 ok!) or the colour of the summer sky when you look straight up.

The other weird thing is that they are not colours that I would really wear, or have around the house, but that I am always drawn to if I'm out shopping, or in a yarn store! And my stash is full of that fuchsia colour, for no apparent reason since the only place I could wear it would be on my feet (and it's all sweater wool!)

I have always liked the color green. Any color of green. I think it has to do with the fact that I was born in May and May's birthstone is the emerald plus I have red hair and the two seem to go together. Congratulations on being in Vogue. Now I have to go find a copy.

My favorite color is green because I've noticed that in nature there are more shades of green than any other color. Also the shades of green available in nature are different depending on the part of the country that you are viewing. Greens in New England are much different than greens in the dessert South West.
CONGRATULATIONS on EVERYTHING!!!!!

Congratulations, Cara! That's great!
It's really hard to pick a favorite color, but the first one that came to my mind when I read your question was brown. I love pretty much all shades of brown, love to coordinate it with many different colors, and love to wear it. I look horrible in black, but dress me in brown, and I look awesome! When I was about thirteen, I asked my grandmother to sew me a brown dress, and I chose a rich chocolate brown fabric and some beautiful golden buttons. She wasn't sure at all about the whole thing, but she did it anyway, and as soon as I had it on, she had to agree that it was absolutely exquisite on me. Twenty years later, I still have the dress, and it may even fit me (but I won't try it on, I like being able to think that it may fit me...).
Wow, I didn't think I'd write that much, sorry about that! I mentioned brown, and the story of that brown dress came up and wanted to be told!

My favorite color is easy.....red! I LOVE red....my mom laughs because every time I buy clothes they are red. The reason? Red is a color that makes me feel sexy and beautiful and confident.

Brava! Brava! That is so exciting!!

For years the only colors I wore or used was black and blue (yeah kinda boring) This year I have resolved to add color to my clothes and knitting. I have already started fingerless mitts that are mostly green and purple and socks that a re moss green,brown and pink. I am Loving It!! I am really loving the socks. I never would have thought moss green and pink would look so good. Ok if I had to pick one color I would say pink. (my mom would freak over that - I use to fight her something fierce to avoid pink. =)

PURPLE. "When I am old, I shall wear purple." When I was a kid (in the south, in the 60's) we NEVER got to wear purple, and I imagine that quote must be from a woman who had the same affliction. Purple was just TOO different, maybe? Too risque? Too cool? Too 'look at me!'? I try and try to buy clothes / yarn in other colors, but I always end up in front of the purple. It's like a magnet. If I arranged my stash by color, there'd be that little pile over there, and then the BIG pile of purple. I can't help it. I'm trying. Really. I actually have yarn now for a GREEN sweater. Really. I'm gonna knit it too. Really. As soon as I can find a set of needles that aren't busy with something purple on them already.

My favorite color: Red. Wisconsin Badgers, Red. I look good in it and you can never have too many red sweaters. I really dislike green. As a child, wouldn't wear green. Except for my green eyes, I've never worn anything green. It just makes me feel ill to think of even think of green.

Congrats on getting in the Vogue Knitting.

I love green. It can be anything: fresh, exciting, disturbing, soothing. It's fabulous. Of course, after looking at my knits from 2007, I realized that I only had one green FO. I'll definitely be remedying that in 2008!

Congratulations again on the notecards. I bet you've been swamped with orders.
My favorite color is red. I've never given much thought as to why but I guess it's because red seems alive. It's vibrant and symbolized life to me.

Wow! Lots of comments really fast. Cool.

Everybody knows my favorite color, but do you know which color I am least likely to use, look at, consider or even touch in a yarn store? Yeller. I mean, some shades are okay, but I never really choose it. Unless I am pairing it with, you guessed it, blue.

I love red, all kind of reds, but I feel odd wearing red.

Blue is my color, I can always use blue. :)

Congrats!

Orange. As it became more and more obvious that my son loved orange over all other colors, I, too, became more and more obsessed with it.

When I was little, my favorite color was black because "it covers up all the other colors." Nowadays, I prefer brighter colors like pink and orange. They are such happy colors! I also love green, there are so many different shades. But overall I think my favorite is pink, because it's girly and cute. I don't knit with it very often though...hmmm...must go buy some pink yarn...

I love soft sagey greens..they calm me and make me feel happy in my chaotic life

Only one reason? I was asked what my favorite color was on a job interview once - and then asked for three reasons why!

Anyway, it is green. I love green because it is the base for most plant life - most buds are green. I think it has remained my favorite because it can go so many different ways and evoke many different moods.

I didn't get the job. Another question was 'who's your best friend' and again three reasons why. My third reason was 'they're fruity.' sigh, I guess that doesn't make sense unless you know Pat.

Congratulations!! And what a fun contest.

My favorite color is red. I'm not sure why - maybe it's because I'm a twin and my sister always wore red (I wore the blue). But I also just love the fact that its vibrant, happy, sexy, and luscious. It makes me feel confident - My first interview suit was red!! Something red brightens my day when I'm down in the dumps, or pops from the mostly black clothes that I wear.

I love RED!!

Yay you!!! That's gotta be quite a happy boost! Congratulations! :-D

I'm on a complete orange fixation right now. I don't know why, but I've decided orange is the BEST THING EVER and I can't stop obsessing over orange. The last five or six skeins of sock yarn I've bought or swapped for have all been orange, despite my owning nothing in my wardrobe that would correspond with orange socks. (Let alone a week's worth of orange socks.) But there it is. Orange.

My favorite color is purple!! I think it sort of came about in high school as our colors were purple and gold. I was on drill team and color guard so needless to say I had to wear a lot of purple and gold. I guess I like it because it is pretty but not too "girly" and is a somewhat relaxing color. Also you will never find neon purple... at least I don't think so. Funny thing is though it's my favorite color, I don't have a lot of purple items in my room or purple clothes. Oh well!

I happen to have one of your cards on my fridge. I'm glad you were recognized for your fabulous photographs!

My favorite color is periwinkle, a bluish-purple (or purplish-blue?). I look good in it, and it calms me down and makes me happy. It looks to me like the color of a mid-October sky, my favorite time of the year. A lot of the yarn and fiber in my stash are this color, and I have to consciously choose other colors or I just buy more of it!

i love teal green. My first pair of hightop reeboks, which incidentally were my first pair of "designer" anything, were teal green. my mother was horrified, since she knew i'd want to wear them with EVERYTHING. and i did. and it clashed. it's a hard color to wear, but it reminds me of that childish glee and all the fun i had before i ever knew about fashion police!

I hope you celebrated by Vogue-ing.

My favorite color is sage green. I decided when I was 12 that I must have a favorite color, and it wasn't going to be blue like dad, or red like mom, or purple like my sister. My quilt had a band of sage green, so I decided that would be my color. I still love it--I just finished covering my knitting corner shelves with sage green contact paper. For a while, all my clothes were sage green, and the first skein of yarn I taught myself to knit with was sage. True love lasts a lifetime.

Wow--congratulations!

My favorite color is a particular greeny-blue that literally makes my mouth water. I have a tiny bit of synesthesia, and that's how it displays itself. Which is particularly odd, because food doesn't really come in that color.

i have to pick two -- i can't choose between these.

periwinkle
robin's egg blue

these are the colors of my soul. i reach for them before any others. deep, abiding love.

I like brown, and green. Brown has always been my favorite right next to black. Not as dreary as black, but still dark all the same. Now green. I used to have an immense hatred for green. It is my moms favorite color, and I always thought she was sick and twisted for liking GREEN! Afterall, green is the color that Linda Blair horked in the Exorcist. Green is the color your poo turns when you eat too many fruitloops. But once I hit my late 20's, I thought to myself "Ya know, green really isn't all that bad of a color. Look how many kinds of green there are!" Kelly green, army green, barf green, bradybunchkitchen green, grass green, forest green, even that funkified mutation of green and blue known as teal. Now, I love green!

coongrats!
i love red because it's a lucky colour. I also love green because it's so fresh and natural....

My favorite color is green because my eyes are green :)

Blue - because it is such a peaceful color.

Kudos on the magazine!!!

While I tend to lean towards green (and definitely orange, especially when you use the two together - most find this disgusting - I love it!)
But I'm of the belief that every color is grand! I generally dislike purple, but my MIL thinks it looks great on me. I shy away from bright red, but the husband thinks it brings out my blue eyes. I used to dislike pink, but well, it grew on me. I can find a purpose and occasion for every color on any person. Many will disagree with me, but I know I'm right :)

And lastly, CONGRATS! I'd have never known if you didn't blog about it since I very rarely buy Vogue Knitting. I'm so happy for you!

Congratulations!

I don't have a favorite color. I always feel bad saying that, like none of them are special enough to be my fav... But the truth is I love them all. I seem to go on kicks. For a while I might love everything blue, and then all of a sudden one day I'll be crazy about orange. Right now, it's green. Two days ago, I was loving yellow. :)

I love GREEN. Not really sure why, but i always have. When i was 5 my parents built a house and my sister and I got to pick out the color or our room. I picked green for my room. Flash forward 30 years and it is still my favorite color. I love wearing it - it complements my skin and eyes - but who knows why it was my favorite color way back when. My living room in my current house is painted green, and almost every night I comment to myself how much i love the color of this room, which i picked out over 4 years ago. And don't let me near the green yarn!!!

I am a multi-color freak! Christmas lights, clothing, and of course, yarn. If I have to choose, my second choice would be red -- bright, wonderful, warm red. I can't believe they don't make those wonderful kids "Dorthy" shoes (the glittery red ones) in adult sizes!

Hi Cara!
Congratulations on having your cards on the VK mag!
Well, my favorite color is purple. I always liked the color purple, it compliments my olive complexion. Now that I am getting older, turns out purple is one of the colors for the hat ladies (purple & red). Turns out its also my daughter's favorite color. Thanks for the opportunity to start off the year by entering a contest. Have a great day!
Rosalia

Firstly, congratulations, you so deserve it!!!!

My favorite color as of late is pink. Especially, Pink kidsilk (Fondant) because it reminds me of cotton candy. I love it because it's just cheerful and makes me want to smile. It reminds me of new babies too (no, I'm not!) I'm smiling just thinking about it (I know, corny)

Purple, purple, purple, any purple at all. Why do I like it you ask? Because it makes me feel all warm and gushy inside which causes me to continually buy purple yarn. I can't stop. I try to buy other colors, but the purple is there calling my name..."Erin, come over here...it's all purple over here...you know you want to!"

It's the purple...it just never stops talking to me.

Congratulations!!

I adore blue and always have - it makes me happy, soothes my fidgets, suits my complexion, brings out my eyes, etc. But what I really want to wear right now is red - not just tiny accessories, but big swaths of brilliant flaming crimson. Problem is, red makes me look pale and sickly and draws attention to every blotch and blemish like a neon sign. It's kind of like the way I wish I had a glorious singing voice - the sort of physical attribute that would express so well with who you are on the inside.... but it just isn't there. Blue it is!!

I can't pick just one. I grew up in India- land of color. I love all the vivid colors- marigolds in the flower market, the fuchsia adorned with mirrors the desert women in Rajasthan wear, the red and gold of a bridal outfit, the green of freshly applied henna and the deep earthy red when it stains the skin. Piles of bright turmeric in the spice market. More subtle- the many colors of sand on the beach at the southern tip of the subcontinent where 3 seas converge.

I could wax poetic. Wait, I already did. :)

Red, red, red. I love everything about it. Unfortunately it is the bane of my existence. I have brown hair that always goes red or orange and my complexion is very very rosy so I look like a huge tomato when I put it on. So sad, really! Congrats on being in VK!

I love RED because:
- My two favourite hockey teams wear red.
- It is the colour I tend to turn spectacularly when complimented.
- I used to live in China, and red is lucky there. Can't go wrong with red!
- It is the colour of my favourite food (hmmmm. cranberries)
- It is the one shade of dye that will not stick to my hair. I kind of like that.
- My favourite line from a book is "It was blood red nail polish. Like Dracula popped open a vein and bottled it" because it is so evocative.
- Red looks warm, and I am often cold.
- It is hard to capture the right hue on film. The mystery appeals to me.

So yes, I like red. A lot.

Oh and hey, CONGRATULATIONS! VK, that's kind of a big deal, eh ;)

My favorite color is purple because my 5-year-old daughter tells me every day that it is. If that works for her, it works for me too! And actually, it is just about my favorite color. When I was a child, I wanted a purple Dodge Road Runner when I grew up because I thought that was the coolest car I had ever seen.

Green... definitely green. Always has been -- who can beat a color so based in nature. In fact I'm a bit worried about the current fad of sage green colors. What happens when my favorite color suddenly becomes the new peach? Grrr.

My favorite color is orange. It is a great color no matter the time of year. It is happy and bright and looks great with any other color :) It can warm you up on a cold dreary day, and help you celebrate the sun in the spring and summer. I love orange!

My favorite color is RED! Because it looks great on me and it makes me happy... Congrats on the mention in Vogue! Those are awesome cards.

My favorite colors are orange, red, and pink for when I was a little redheaded girl growing up, I was told NEVER to wear orange, red, or pink because it would clash with my hair. How ridiculous I think now. Now? I love to clash. bring on the orange, red, and pink.

My favorite color is a rich, saturated turquoise. The color itself reminds me of oceans, expressionist paintings, and a favorite childhood sweater. I love to wear it because it's a great contrast/compliment to my reddish hair. I love to knit with it, especially when the yarn is truly, deeply saturated with color because it draws in my eye and holds my attention. Nothing is more mesmerizing than a beautiful, bold color.

I noticed that when I got the mag this weekend. Congrats!

My favorite color is definitely green, in all shades, though I tend toward the very yellow variety. Something about it makes me feel happy and funky; I love the avocado kitchen and want to bring it back. It's just lovely, it matches my eyes, and I feel bright and happy when I wear it.

Congrats on your appearance in Vogue Knitting.

My favourite colour is RED. This is despite having to wear a red school uniform for 10 years - I was a RED MAID. This all girls' school was established in the 17th century by a Bristol (UK) merchant. Although the uniform has changed a lot since then, we still had to wear a wool bonnet and apron for special occasions!

When I was a kid, I hated GREEN. Probably only Kelly Green, but I told everyone ALL SHADES OF GREEN because it's the color or nature/trees, not clothes. Pretty dumb. I like green a lot now.

My favorite, hands-down is RED. Can't get enough, though I know it would have a bigger impact in my life if I used/wore it less.

thx!

Green! Right now, it's chartreuse, next week it'll be another shade, but i just love it. Why? you got me? How hard it is to put into words why something sings to you!

Congratulations on the Vogue write-up. Fabulous news. My favorite color WAS blue/green. I say WAS because, thanks to Ravelry, I was unceremoniously forced to come to terms with the fact that pretty much everything I have knit and/or own is the same color. Time to BREAK FREE! Today I am wearing red. Not just red...RED! And loving it.

Wow! Congratulations! I would definitely be over the moon excited about that.

To keep with the positive thoughts, I'll state my favorite color! My favorite color for now is blue mainly in the tealy-turquoisey range. I find the color very calming and relaxing. It also just makes me happy. :)

My fave colour is ORANGE - a colour of growth and energy and change. It just makes me happy!

Congrats on getting your cards in Vogue - may you be overwhelmed with orders (but in a good way!!).

My favorite color? FUSCHIA! Hot, hot, hotter than hot - PINK!
It makes me happy - makes me want to sing.
I really need to knit myself something in fuschia with lime green, electric blue, orange and purple accents. WHY do I not?
Being of the "fluffy" sort, I'm always self conscious of myself. I wear black, I wear brown (I know - BOOOOORING) only to hide myself in the crowd. Maybe someday I'll get up the nerve...

This year I need to knit with verigated yarn. I love colors (all of them! Especially teal and brown) but I've been intimidated by too many colors in a single skein. How will I know what it will look like knit up? I need to trust the needles, trust the dyer, trust the pattern and the yarn and knit bravely!

Congrats!

My favorite colour is green! I love green because it seems to calm me and it looks fresh and clean. It also reminds me of spring and summer, which are my two favorite seasons.

I keep reading your blog - and your endeavours with motherhood soon...
My favourite colour is EGGPLANT - I believe it acts for me as the new black. I am green-eyed and this colours works great on me...
Plus it has depth, marry well with any pinks, grey or green.. and neutral as well... Love it (saw this colour on the Lucy Liu bedspread yesterday on Cashmere Mafia - telling you it is the new black !!)

Wooo! Congratulations!

Oh, I cannot pick a favorite color, they're all so great. But one I really don't care for is barbie pink. Princess pink. It goes along with my dislike for the fetishizing of the princesses and making girls into little toy objects. Also, I am so not into the girly thing. After a violent dissociation with pink for many years, I'm starting to appreciate it again and I use it in quilts and knits. But to wear? I avoid it like the plague.

Aren't I the negative one. Here's something positive: your contest reminds me of when we were visiting NY last summer and went to MOMA. There was a painting there named "Blue Monochrome" by Yves Klein. It was all just painted one shade of blue. My husband looks at it and said, "I'd dismiss it as being boring except that shade of blue is so beautiful and I just want to stare at it for awhile." Heh.

Big congrats to you! I haven't seen that issue yet so I'm happy to hear your toot on your blog.

Hmmm... my favourite colour is Canadian autumn. It's that lovely mix of golds, oranges, greens, rusts, reds, browns and plums that combine together to form a sea of amazing colour. We don't get that kind of autumn in Britain as our trees generally only do the gold and brown thing. I miss Canadian autumns.

My favorite color is sometimes black because I love to wear black, it's simple, it's easy, no thinking required. I also love blue though. It's the color of the sky and I love being in the sky when it's blue and the ocean is blue. I'm trying to increase the green in my wardrobe lately though because I'm a redhead and I've been told I look good in green and am trying to accept it and love it too.

Yay Cara, mazel tov, excellent start for a big year! I am stumped on the color choosing, I like them all - thems that I wear, thems that I don't. My biggest color peeve is when people say choose a color, and include black Its not a color, its the lack of light. Ok, I'll go sit down with the rest of the nerds now...

I used to shun pink. Like, for over 20 years of my life, I refused to wear pink, think about pink, look at pink. If it came in pink, I didn't want it. I was too busy wearing black and being angsty.

Lately, like in the past six months? I can't get enough of pink. Deep, bright, juicy pinks that teeter on the edges of red and purple - I LOVE them!! First I knit myself a hat in deep pink Malabrigo, then I knit myself some mittens in some deep ruby-pink-purple Dream in Color Classy. Now I'm working on socks in Sock Hop "Wild Thing", which is supposed to be all orange and purples, but the skeins I got have lots of white, so it's all orange and pink with hints of purple, and it's like knitting the sunrise and I can't work on these socks enough, I'm so in love with them.

My favorite color is still bright leafy green, but deep pink, verging on magenta especially, just SPEAKS to me lately.

I think that bluish/green/aqua color is my favorite. You know, the one that's the color of caribbean water? And really, do I have to say why it's my favorite? Because I think it's pretty obvious. :) My second favorite is tangerine. What a fun color!!!!

Congrats, what an honor that is. Not surprising though you do take beautiful pictures.
As for my favorite color I would definitly have to say blue. I really don't know why. I've always loved that color.
One color I wish that I could wear would be orange. For some reason I have a hankering to knit something orange. Maybe a pair of socks. We'll see. Anyway congrats again!

Whups, I almost forgot! Congrats, Cara, on your cards being featured in VK! How exciting!

It's easy for me to pick my favorite color: blue.
My eyes are blue, and it really looks good on me. Blue is cool and calming, which I also like. There are so many shades, though, so it's full of possibilities. There is the ocean, the sky, the color on birds in my back yard, flowers, the list goes on and on. I especially like how blue can combine with other colors, enhancing and contrasting them. There is purplish-blue and greenish-blue. There's a blue for every emotion, not just the "blues"! Yay for blue!

Love: Red. Dark, kind of burgundy red. I didn't like red as a teen, I thought it was too bold, but then I found it _really_ suits me. It's totally my color, and I wear it a lot now. And paired with black it's just the most awesome color ever ;-)

Hate: Yellow. Don't get me wrong, I tried, I really did. I like yellow but it looks horrible on me. I look at yarn and I like the yellow but I know I can not knit anything for me with it because I will look horrible in it. However my best friend rocks the yellow. He's knitting yellow green striped socks right now and they're awesome.

Red. Any shade of red. Red makes me happy, it's just that simple.

congrats! that's really awesome! someone at vogue is definitely paying attention! :D

i like purple, my whole stash (almost) is purple and my knitty friends tease me about it...but purple just makes me so happy, and i am drawn to it. purple reminds me of my sister when we were kids, she wore purple every day. and i need these reminders of my sister then because she's not so cool now and i miss my purple wearing sister.

I love autumnal colors with a passion, but I especially love finding ways to stretch the definition of autumnal. A dried sycamore leaf that evokes autumn has got such a range of golds and browns and purples in it, and they are all harmonious in one place. How on earth does that happen? It's fun to find the perfect autumn purple or blue when the usual colors are reds and browns and greens.

I dislike very specific shades, but even then I try to find a way to like them. I am not a fan of pink, but I've come to like it when it's with other colors. Pink can be startling when it's matched up with burgundy and green and orange. It's the perfect shade to be used sparingly.

There's a site that I'm addicted to where you can make palettes and patterns, and it's a wonderful way to rediscover colors you thought you hated.

I think that my favorite color is blue. I tell people this. It makes sense. Blue is very me - responsible, calming, etc. But when I look at my yarn and the sweaters I buy, it turns out that my favorite color is really that raspberry shade. A deep pink, purple undertones. It's the color I reach for to feel good. And it's the color I buy myself.

Highly saturated salmon pink against dark brown, because those were the two colors of one of my very favorite childhood books. It was about a birthday, and the cake was salmon pink against chocolate-brown backgrounds. As a kid I wanted to eat that color right out of the book. I still do.

Maribel called me last night from work to tell me that you were in Vogue. I was very, very impressed:D
Not at all surprised of course since your cards are lovely and well deserving of attention.

Way to go!!! I love the blues and greens, right now my favorite is a pine. The "WHY" is harder (why do I hate licorice and speed metal? it's all wired in the brain somehow), but I think that it probably has to do with growing up in Washinton, the land of the evergreens.

Congrats on the mention in VK! My favorite color is green, because... well, just because. More specificlly, Kelly Green(which is like lime green, but not quite as in-your-face) because it's cheerful and bright.

Congrats! That's so cool!

Right now I am loving the color yellow because it reminds me of sunny skies, warm air, and beachy weather...anything other than this cold spell we are in.

Yay! Congrats!! Your cards so beautiful too (as are all of your pictures).

Hmmm... My favorite color would be deep, dark reds/garnets. I think mostly because my first school's main color was red and my dad's favorite football team is garnet (SF 49ers). :)

Congrats!!! Your cards are gorgeous!

I don't really have a favorite color but there are some that I just can't force myself to wear. Bright orange, you know like the kind that hunters wear when out in the woods. It's a color best left for traffic cones and safety vests. :)

Purple's hot because it's not limited to one season. It comes back in style in different shades, but it's never out. It's a color rarely found in nature, or at least, a color not found as often as others. Natural dyes are difficult to find. I think that's why we have a royal purple; it was so rare a color it was reserved for Kings.



It's an captivating color that I've been obsessed with this past year. My glee sweater, le slouch hat, my new shoes- PURPLE! I love the deeper shades the most.



Klingons have purple blood.




You probably didn't need to know that. Congrats on your photos in vogue :)

I always hated pink. It was the one colour I would never wear. Too girly for boyish me, I suppose.

Then I had a daughter... I don't dress her in pink all the time, oh no, but sometimes (and more and more now that she is almost princess four!). And it has rubbed off. So while I still don't like soft, pastelly pink I do like and wear bright happy pink.

Yellow is my favorite color (at least right now). I don't own any yellow clothing--it looks HORRID on me--but I have Fiestaware and I love, love, love the Sunshine Yellow. My first "grownup" room was painted a yellow buttercup color. It was so...grownup...which what is more important than that when you are 16?

Congratulations on VK!

purple, purple, in the sea
purple, purple, don't eat me!
purple is
as purple does
and purple is so pretty!

Yes, I know it makes no sense. But that's what came into my head. I guess I just like purple.

Hi Cara,
Congrats on the VK spot on color. It makes perfect sense they'd feature your colorful cards. Happy belated birthday too!
I'm weird. My favorite color is brown. My kids have brown eyes and brown hair. I love when they smile and their brown eyes light up. I love to wear brown too, probably because it matches my hair and eyes. I think brown is comfy, soft, yummy (chocolate) and rich. I love a wall painted brown with white crown moulding. I love brown.

My favorite color has been purple since I was a little girl. HOWEVER... I couldn't possibly pick ONLY purple. SO I can also say that I love reds, and oranges, and pinks too.

Purple has always been my favorite color. I think perhaps because it's slightly unusual. I love almost every shade of it, but tend toward the darker ones.

Cara, Congrats on the shout-out in Vogue! That is just awesome.

My all time favorite color - there is more of it in my closet than anything is black. And, my favorite accent color for black is green - all greens. Mustardy greens, olivey greens, grassy greens, limey greens, browny greens. I feel so vibrant and alive with green on.

Congratulations! Well-deserved as your photos are wonderful.

My favorite colors ebb and flow, not quite in sync with the seasons but like them. Sometimes I like bright strong colors in hot combinations; fuschia with orange, chartreuse with periwinkle; purple with red. Right now I am going through a subtler phase; lots of browns and grays and slate-blues but all with a shimmer of other colors mixed in. And creamy colors; ecru, taupe, sand, white. Although I am knitting with some self-striping sock yarn in yellow, green, and pink as well.

However my standby color is black - practical, goes with everything, sophisticated, looks great with my pale skin and dark hair.

my favorite color is GREEN! green, green, green. My eyes are green, so I love to wear it. I have made THREE green central park hoodies (albeit in different shades). I also like it because it reminds me of the outdoors, which I love. Yay green.

I love all colors!! Can't choose just one, thy all have a place in life, sometimes I feel like golden hues, sometimes I need rich saturated colors.....Don't make me chiise just one....

How fun! Yay for you!

My favorite is blue. It's always been that way... I have ice blue eyes, so depending on the shade of blue I wear it changes my eyes.

Congratulations on the well deserved attention.

My favorite colour is Scarlet Red, though it used to be royal blue when I was younger. I really love how bright and clear scarlet is and it works really well with my complexion. It is hard to find as a yarn colour since it is so bright, but I have a sweaters worth that is waiting for the perfect pattern.

I love the bright clear colours and will always reach for them when I'm feeling a bit down. Grey and black are also favorites but they get worn when I'm in an upbeat mood. I'm not sure if I'm seeking balance or just being contrary, but I match my moods to their opposite colours.

Congratulations! Your cards are gorgeous.

For years and years, if asked what my favorite color was, I would reply blue. Always. Until I got to college and my roommate overheard me say that my favorite color was blue, and she said, "Really? I would have sworn it was green". I was shocked - Why?! And she started pointing out all of these things - when we were out shopping, I was always excited about the green sweaters or green notebooks, etc. I drove a lime green Beetle which I love with a passion. I have lime green appliances, and so on and so on. So, I thought about it and remembered that growing up my sister and I would have hundreds of crayons, but never any green because we used those first. So, I admit it - I've always been a lover of GREEN. It just took me nearly 20 years to realize it :)

Congrats!

I love green. I love most shades but the one that really connects with me is a bright grassy planty green. I feel so connected with the outdoors and I associate that bright green with the sun and the summer. I live in Canada and have a long, dark, gloomy winter. My SAD,doesn't make it any easier, and when the world gets green again, I know I'll be happier soon. I try to incorporate as much bright, leafy green as I can in my life to remind myself that things will get brighter soon.

Your color cards are awesome. I've been meaning to write and tell you so. My MIL tried to order them for me for Hanukkah, and you were out of stock. Maybe you remember...but given how I remembered things when I was pregnant, maybe not. She was excited to get an email from you that they were available and would make ti here for the 25th. Anyhow, my FIl and BIL both photographers oohed and aahed over the cards when I opened them on Christmas. I just wanted you to know. TOOT TOOT! I'll honk a horn for you too. I'm so excited to have cute cards to write my knitterly friends on. And since I wouldn't mind having more...(I'm going through my box quick.) I wrote a COLOR entry on my blog in November... http://dayinthelifeof531.blogspot.com/2007/11/colors.html I think that my favorite color is "rainbow". I don't think I could pick just one. But, in my house ORANGE is the special color these days. Orange Kitty is the love of my boys. They each have one. We had an ORANGE birthday last year complete with Mac-n-cheese, cheetos, orange jello, and a giant poster of the favorite kitty. And recently, I've been working on Orange Kitty socks (in the Opal Rainforest Tiger Yarn). It probably wouldn't have been my FAVORITE color, but it's so special to the ones I love...it's special to me too.

I was thinking about my favorite color over the weekend. When I was a mere 3 years old I loved lavender. I still love lavender although I don't wear it much. Now I'm more into teal blue. I have had a cringe reaction to pink for several years now. For some reason I tend to associate pink to maturity. To me, pink is not a mature adult's color. JMHO.

Congratulations Cara!

My favourite colour is green, all sorts of greens, and lately I've really been enjoying the reds. What I really like is a pale green and a deep red together...oooo....that makes me really happy.

I have a sad relationship with orange: I love it, but I cannot wear it. It is a good thing I do not love it as much as I love green.

My favorite color is copper. It's the first colour I dyed my hair (unfortunately, since my hair is dark red already, all it did was add a nice penny-bronze sheen to my hair), it's the color of the pennies I taught my son to count with, and it's my favorite colour in the fall spectrum.

It's also the colour of the bottom of the cooking pots I want, but that somehow didn't really fit into the above description ;)

My favorite color is Yellow. Its bright and warm just like the rays of the sun upon your face:) and well Sun in spanish is sol which is part of my name Marisol:) My favorite flower is the Sunflower. Its corny I know but true--Yellow is such a warm happy color.

Hey well done! I saw them last week when my magazine came.

I love blue. The deep colour of azure lapis.

Congratulations! I saw your cards and I was like - I know that blogger!
My favorite color is green-blue, some might call it teal. It just floats my boat- every time I see the right combo, I just plain like it. I like to look at it.

I would say my favorite colors change from year to year: In my "youth" I loved red and black; colors I thought were flattering against my skin. As time has gone on I associate color with people or memories I want to preserve. Colors that come to my mind now that I would say are a favorite have special memories associated with them PURPLE (a color I never wear or even like) I associate with my youngest son because it is his absolute favorite; TEAL reminds me of my niece's beautiful blue eyes and her bright smile; SILVER/GOLD because if it's shiny or has any sparkle, my oldest son has to have it; BROWN because my sister who is such a sweetheart wears a shade of it everyday of her life; MAUVE because it was my Grandmother's favorite sweater and now it all I have left of her. Colors, like places speak to me about the people in my life, the memories we share and the love I feel for them.

I have said that my favorite color was orange since I was 14. I have honestly said my favorite color was orange since around 23. I started because there was a "what your favorite color says about your personality" quiz in my Mom's Cosmo. Orange came the closest to who I wanted to be at that age; intelligent, outgoing, confident, and centered. It also said I might tend towards arrogance drama and being conceited but I chose to ignore that part.
It wasn't until I was married that I realized it was actually a color I surrounded myself with. I love that it work in any season, its in every sunset/sunrise, its clemetines in winter, my tulips in spring, my girls beach towels in summer and bittersweet in autumn. Heck, for the first 4 months of my pregnancy with my first daughter all I ate was orange food; apricots, carrots, orange yogurt, mandarins, cold sweet potato fries, you get the idea, cold and pretty much vegetarian was me. So, yeah, orange :)

I simply adore a very particular pale shade of Aqua, it reminds me of the ocean in bermuda, but also how sometimes water or ice look taken at t
