What do you think? Is there a trend you love? A trend you'll take a pass on? What look in crochet is making you say yes right now? The great thing about color trends is that they can be adapted to any pattern. And I love the idea of adding fringe to last year's accessories! Share your favorites in the comments!

Being a large woman, over-size sweaters and fringe are NOT my friends.
Among my friends, the trend seems to be splashes of colorful patterns paired with black or white, like a floral shell under a black blazer.

I hear ya - I'm on the large side myself. 😉 Not every trend will work for everyone, but it's fun to pick our faves! 😀
Erik says
Is it just me, or are all things corner to corner coming back?
