Life on Mars
Life on Mars is a warm brownish, red, gold that I originally made while trying to get the recipe right for Tennessee Whiskey. I didn’t end up with the exact color I had in mind for that song, but I did end up with a color I really enjoy.
This is a great fall color that would also hold up well in a bag or most accessories. I can also see it as cute little pants for a toddler or a baby.
I think it would look great in a shawl with both Gold Dust Woman and Orange crush, both of which have some of the colors used in this colorway. Try it with What Else Can I Do for a uniquely fun, but somehow earthy Glass Houses by Cally Monster. For a crochet project try 2022 Rose City Yarn Crawl MCAL – Metamorphisis by Sarah LarRieu.
A little about my colorways: I name all of my colorways for song or lyrics. Music is a huge love of my life, as are the fiber arts. If you aren’t sure what lyric or song the yarn you get is named after, it is kind of fun to go take a listen or to look up the artist. 🙂
Some Colors I think Would go well with Life on Mars:
I Guess That’s Why They Call it the Blues
Midnight Special
What Else Can I Do
School’s Out
Truly, Madly, Deeply
Stand by Me
