    Hi Jill on the colour wheel in art white is classed as a tint. It is added to the primary colours to make a tone in the colour. Black is classed as a tone and added to a primary colour it is a tone of the colour. Hope that makes sense. Black an white are monochromatic in the art world hope that helps

    Hi Jill. Hope you enjoy your trip to Townsville. I find whenever I take my crochet with me to visit family I get almost nothing done. We just get talking too much and it's difficult to concentrate on what I'm meant to be doing. (Stitch 3 or 4, undo 3 or 4. Or I get back home and find mistakes a couple of rows back, need I say more. I'm busy making a toddler size cardigan for a friend who was an avid crocheter and can't do it any more due to shoulder pain. It's such a pity because she loved to crochet and spent the best part of each day churning out some amazing work. I can't imagine not being able to crochet any more, it's such a big part of my life. Enough rambling from me, hope you are coping with the heat wherever you are, I'm over it, that's for sure.

      Where do you live dear Renata? I am in Port Macquarie, Australia, the heat sure does wear thin doesn’t it 🥵. You are so right about trying to crochet whilst with grandchildren 😆😆. I save it for the days they are at school & daycare 👍🏼. We are so lucky to have our crochet life, I hope we can always manage something, it certainly would be sad for us to lose our ability that’s for sure, stay cool my dear, we are heading to autumn soon 😁🍃✨💖

    I absolutely love your individuality Jill! What a great video, you share so much of your self which makes your videos so personal and engaging, thanks. I used to struggle with browns and yellows as I was dressed in those colours a lot as a child because I had brown hair and green eyes! Now I appreciate the browns and yellows and just about every colour except grey, greys I find so dull and difficult but I think you have hit the nail on the head about those of us who live in the northern hemisphere, as we do have so very many grey days and just love a bit of bright colour! Thanks for encouraging us to think about colour. Looking forward to your next deeper dive!!

    A very interesting video Jill, especially the mention of synesthesia - the days of the week have always been colour to me, as do some months of the year. I wonder if this has given me a love of the blues and greens. I'll have to do a bit of research to find out 💙💙

This revealed that my husband and eldest daughter also see the days of the week as a colour, it’s interesting isn’t it (they are more alike each other too). And Hannah’s Husband seas then Calender as one long straight line whereas I see it like a Calender with 3 x 4 sections and I see the days and words all in black. Let’s see what else I can uncover 😆😁👍🏼👍🏼

    How interesting that the most dislike colour is orange and I cringed when you said that because it is my favourite colour. Having said that, if I look around my home including in my wardrobe I only have a couple of tops that are orange and that's about it.

    This was such an interesting video for me Jill since I started my yarn dyeing and my YT channel. I’ve had alot of questions about why and how I choose the colours I do. I’ve had to reflect and ask myself because honestly I’ve never analysed the why. As you said it can be intuitive or a heart song. Sometimes the colours I choose to wear are not the colours I would decorate with. And then different rooms in the house have different colour choices. Sunroom is bright, bedrooms need calm muted tones for me and so on. It really is individual isn’t it. I feel like you with the colour wheel and over the years the longer I crochet the further away from solid colours I’ve gotten. So I very rarely choose from the primary colour wheel unless someone has asked for it. I’ll always lean towards & choose from the variegated, tonal, speckled yarns and if I dont have them I’ll create my own by blending colours together. I love how you’ve put all this into words in your video. Thankyou. 🌺🌸🌼

      Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! I love how you've thought about your colour choices too Maureen, I am trying my hardest to discover that connection we have with certain colours and I feel like 3td time will be a charm. I’ll get to the bottom of it somehow. I might find some podcasts about it to listen too…I love the way you have done it in each room of your house ✨✨✨✨✨

    Hi Jill, the blanket is looking beautiful already, it is going to be awesome when you have finished it! What a brilliant idea, getting ahead with a few centres! I have not managed to start mine yet as I am still working on two other blankets and so I am very much enjoying the thinking about it stage and watching yours and other's progress is inspirational!
