Katie Rempe: Today, we are talking about the magic of the color brown.
James Divine: And it doesn't get me down.
Katie Rempe: No, and it doesn't remind me of poo at all.
James Divine: No, it's chocolate.
I think most colors can be polarizing, but I think brown is one of those that seems to elicit either, like we just said, is it chocolate or poop?
And I think it can bring up one of two associations. It's either the gorgeous cabinetry and wood tones that are behind you and, gorgeous chocolate and, someone's cascading brown hair. Or it's brown, ugly, dirt, dirty,
Katie Rempe: soiled,
James Divine: dirty car seat and, gross.
So I think it's interesting how, is it chocolate or is it poop? And I guess we'll get into it in this episode.

Light From Lantern presents: Knit A Spell.
I'm magical maker: Katie Rempe.
And I'm the maker of magic: James Divine.
Join us as we stitch together the symbiotic relationship between crafting and 'The Craft'.
Katie Rempe: So what are your first impressions on the color brown?
James Divine: I love the color brown. To me it is the color of grass, it's the color of the trees, it's the color of the wood, it's the color of everything.
I think brown is fabulous.
And in case you're listening and you're like, what? Because I'm colorblind. I don't mean to, yeah.
Katie Rempe: That's right, yes. Good clarification, just in case people aren't following . But that actually makes me curious, do you not pay attention to the color brown because you see so much like some people might do for green, because it's everywhere, and especially if you see that as
James Divine: brown.
I think because I am more green blind than I am red blind, and because my field of vision, living in the Pacific Northwest, is so much filled with green most of the time, with the evergreen trees, and the green grass, it's green almost all year round, because we hardly ever get snow.
Most of my field of vision is filled with green, so I think that compensates a little bit for my color blindness, it's a deficiency, not an absence of. So I think I do see, the green more however, certainly the brown is just so associated with life, it's just always been such a beautiful color to me.
I love like the mahogany colors. I've never had a negative association with brown. Of course, there are things that we don't like that are brown, like decomposing things but generally I've had a pretty good association with brown personally. What about you?
What is your association with brown? When you first think of brown, do you think of the positive or do you think of the negative?
Katie Rempe: All positive for me as well. Yeah. I loved designing brown colors for yarn because It's such a great neutral that people don't always think of. And if it's the right color Brown, not the right, but if it's a great compliment to what you're looking for, it can be something that has a little bit more life to it.
I think then just going for like a white or a black or a gray, which are very neutral and not like dead, but. You get a little bit more dimension, I think, in brown. And I always think of woods too. I love mixing metal and warm woods. I just feel like that combo is really inviting, even though I'm like, Oh my gosh, we killed these trees and we're just putting them everywhere.
But I also think it's an honor to be able to have them wrapped around us because it really is, for me, a very grounding color, maybe because it's literally trees from the ground and the soil. And even like the lesser desirable feelings around it, I can always look at and turn around okay, it's decaying, but guess what?
That is rich soil ready to be grown again. Okay. It's dirty, but it's probably really water soluble, so you can wash it out fairly easily, even a poo. If you've taken like a really good BM, that could be an amazing day. So even if the thing isn't so desirable, it also is very desirable. So yeah.
James Divine: And part of what makes the weird scent of cow manure in limited doses, when it's tilled into the soil, is actually, somehow can be a pleasant, now I know too much of it, is horrible. Like anything. But, when you're somehow out in the farmland, there's a certain scent to that, when it's tilled into the soil, that can be pleasant.
And certainly, when you're in the garden. And you dig into that rich soil and you smell that, fabulous scent of the earth. There's nothing better than the scent of nice rich soil.
One of the things that I think of is. When I was a kid in the desert, but even here in the Pacific Northwest, we had the first really good rain over the past weekend and I had the doors open and it started raining and that first scent of rain, which we don't get very often up here.
When I grew up in the desert and it would rain, we would get that rain scent all the time. Every time it rained. But here it's just if it hasn't rained in a while and there was that scent of rain. Oh man, it was so great. And when I looked outside, the wood got wet and became from dusty ashen. Gray to dark wood brown and everything got wet and beautiful You know how rocks go from that gray and suddenly they're wet and they show all their colors. So I associate I think that with the color brown too is You know the wet rain.
Katie Rempe: Yeah. Speaking of like wet things, other brown items that kind of come to mind are like dark amber or dark, like whiskeys and, brown liquors and that sort of thing. And they're all like brown sugar, molasses, all of that, like rich. Richness and sugary goodness. Coffee. Yes,
James Divine: duh. And my black tea, we call it black tea, but it's brown.
It's a beautiful, rich brown. Yeah. So when we drink a gorgeous cup of coffee or tea and yeah, I think about that brown sugar and molasses and, it's October. So your pumpkin spice latte is brown, but also as we're getting into October, like even orange, if we look at the autumnal colors, brown is a huge part of that.
Those reds and yellows and oranges of leaves are contrasted against the brown leaves.
Katie Rempe: I actually consider orange to be like a light brown.
At least to a point. And so for me, that's where the spectrum is. It's like orangey brown to like almost a black, like you said.
James Divine: If we're A lot of us are doing art digitally and so we know when we want to get a brown we go to the orange and then we make the orange dark.
So that's a cute thing is that we now think of brown as dark orange.
Katie Rempe: Yeah, exactly. Let's look at some traditional magical meanings. Like what. Is in terms of the magical worlds and correspondences
Brown Correspondences
---
James Divine: For sure. So if you're doing folk magic different types of folk magic might have different associations, but one of them is when we think about brown folk magic.
Is often associated with sympathetic magic. So it's going to associate a one for one, very simple association.
So if we think about Brown, As the shelving or as the desks or as the environment that you're in the mahogany shelving of a lawyer's office or the desk of a banker so brown came to be a color associated in folk magic with dealing with bureaucracy, especially with legal and court cases. And even today a lot of courtrooms, especially in historic buildings. Yeah. It's all like wood, dark wood paneled courtroom, with wooden benches and a church like pews.
Katie Rempe: So I never thought about that before, but yeah, you're totally right. No wonder.
James Divine: Yeah. So if you are doing candle magic, for instance, you would light perhaps a brown candle and then you would use different herbs and different oils.
Whatever is you need for your, Oh, Case, but you could use brown in that way. So it's one of the associations of brown.
But there's lots of other ones. And you said one earlier, which is the element of earth. So a lot of times when we're doing magic, we might use a green candle to symbolize the earth element, but you could just as easily use a brown candle because it's actually the color of dirt.
Yes, absolutely. The trunk of a tree.
Katie Rempe: Yes, of the dying, decaying thing that nourishes the ground again for more growth, yeah. Totally. Yep, it's also associated, unsurprisingly since it's earth, with the direction north, which I believe is associated with
James Divine: For most, traditional witchy folks, there's some that differ, but yeah, so earth in the north and, of course the planet earth would be also literally that.
Duh.
Katie Rempe: Yeah. Good point. Yep.
I've also seen it as representing the Page or tens in tarot, which was interesting. And I wondering again, is that because it's all encompassing 10 is the world or it's like a finish. That kind of a thing,
James Divine: right? So if you think about the fool's journey, so this is getting into a little tarot nerdom, but the major arcana of the tarot, the fool is the zero and the world represents the completion of the fool's journey cycle.
And so in that same sort of symbolism of the fool going through an entire cycle or a journey, you can think of the one through ten of the Pips being also a symbolic journey of the ace being the beginning or the zero of the pure element of that suit and the 10 being the completion of a cycle of that suit.
That's how I like to read the pips is to incorporate that the one through 10 as a cycle. So when you get to the 10 for instance, the 10 of swords, which is always like the person stabbed in the back by 10 swords, you can look at that as. Oh that's an earth element. It's completion.
You're done with that. That the cycle is over, which is a very common way to read that. It's yeah, you're laying there with all those swords in your back. And it's also done. What you've been thinking about what you've been concentrating over the thing that those thoughts, those repeated, keeping up at night ruminations are over.
So you're grounded back on earth. The swords have pinned you to the ground, but they're just ideas and thoughts. And the sun is rising in the background. So you have this earth element to all of the tens. So that's a great way to think about it on the little scale, just like on the larger scale of the Fool's Journey and the Major Arcana.
Katie Rempe: Very interesting. I also see it is associated with feminine energy, which I'm guessing is because of blood? Question mark? I don't really know. Or because of birthing? Because we make the life? And I don't know. But if you have any insight on that, let me know. But I do find it to be quite a warm color, so I don't really know.
James Divine: I know that this is stuff that's maybe out there on the internet. So I love that you brought this up because I am never really a fan of the gendering of colors. That's true. We're not trying to
Katie Rempe: sell this color to anybody,
James Divine: right?
So there could be a hermetic or a Old fashioned magical reason why this color in alchemy has an alchemical gender.
So that is a separate sort of magical reason that I haven't looked up. But if we think about it as if we are assigning the genders magically, that's the only way that I could be like, okay, I see what that means.
You could think about it also as is it electric or magnetic?
You can think about those two polarities, which are a little better to talk about than gendered, right? the two polarities of electric or magnetic or a positive or negative magnetism. So this would be more of a magnetic, polarity as opposed to a
electric or a repulsing. Yeah. Polarity. So that means that the brown would draw you in, and it would be more of a restful, cradling, you could curl up and relax in a nest of brown.
Katie Rempe: Yes. That makes perfect sense because what do we plant seeds into? The earth. The earth. So it is like a womb almost.
Oh, interesting.
James Divine: The bird would make its nest with brown sticks, you would curl up at the base of a tree. And so in this way you would see this magnetic attractive polarity rather than a repulsive. Polarity. So if you looked at a color that had more of a repulsive or electric polarity, that would be, kick you in the ass and get you going.
And, brighten you up, perhaps like an electric yellow, like we talked about in our previous episode.
Brown For Magic
---
Katie Rempe: When we go into magical uses, what are some instances where you might go for a brown candle or a brown yarn or a brown marker in order to write out the things? Where have you used brown magically in the past?
James Divine: Yeah, so I've definitely used it to represent the element of Earth.
So whenever I've needed to ground, whenever I've needed to call the element of Earth in in a ritual, and we didn't have a green candle, or we've wanted to use brown on purpose. And if we've ever had a legal issue or a legal case that we really wanted to influence magically, We've used brown for that reason.
Those are the things that I've really seen, what are some other ways that we could use the color brown? Like I think, oh, I guess the one other thing I could think of is you can decorate your altar it's seasonal, like right now it's autumn.
It's October. So as you're decorating your altar, perhaps your altar is on the top of your dresser, or maybe you have a dedicated place for where you put, your statues or your little whatever you do for a little altar,
which we have an episode on creating an altar. We'll link it in the notes below.
So when you think about keeping up your altar, keep it dusted and update it. So now it's autumn time. We're approaching Samhain at the end of the month. So now's the time for you to as we already went through, Mabon, we went through the winter, the autumn equinox, that was the time to decorate your altar in September with autumnal colors, browns and oranges.
And now if you haven't done that, you can do it now. You can put up some brown and some orange and some autumnal colors. You could put some leaves on your altar. And that's a great way to bring in the colors that are outside right now.
So I like in the springtime, for instance, I like to bring in some fresh flowers or even if it's the plastic flowers that you have, the silk flowers that represents spring and put those on the altar. So you can keep your altar fresh and reflecting what's out there. And that automatically will bring the colors that are happening seasonally.
So that's another way to bring Brown into your magic is through that visualization. You have the visualization is what your altar and your focal points can really be. So if you're doing a specific magical action, using the colors can be very powerful.
So think about do you have a brown cloth you want to put on the table? Do you have brown colored things that you want to incorporate? And that can help you if you need those elements of earth. But you had some other ideas Katie, on what brown could be used for.
Katie Rempe: Yeah, the first thing that comes to mind for me is grounding. Literally it's the ground soil and dirt and everything. So it's, could represent stability, of course reliability, things that are trustworthy and secure. Yeah. Things like earthiness, obviously, which we talked about already just simplicity.
So being like modest humility.
James Divine: I love this idea of endurance. If you need the endurance and the strength to get through it, the holidays are coming. I hate to say it, there's already Christmas crap in stores.
Katie Rempe: There's been Christmas crap in store since July. It's
James Divine: terrible. I know. Relentless. It's the reminder that you have to make it through the holidays. Goodbye. And, it's sad to say but... It used to be fun when we were kids, and now it's oh my god, am I going to make it?
Katie Rempe: That's why you drink a little brown around the holidays, too. I know, that's why whiskey is brown. Yes, and it also offers you a bit of warmth and strengthening. Yep, exactly. A little
James Divine: liquid courage. Yes, indeed. For Uncle John. Yes,
Katie Rempe: and his, quote, very funny jokes. Huh.
Yes. Thanks, Uncle John.
James Divine: Yeah. I think about that endurance and how you could light a brown candle and visualize you are strong. You can make it. You will.
Katie Rempe: Yeah, what strong hard woods, even just surrounding yourself by the trees and looking at how they can withstand so much.
I think about the trees back in Florida that survived the hurricane, so much wind energy and not all of them did, but the ones that did, I feel like, I remember looking out the back window and there is a huge, very tall pine tree that I thought if this tree can survive, we'll be fine.
And it. It stood strong and that really helped me ground by just looking at the tree and being like, okay, it's not freaking out the tree. It's standing strong outside and I'm inside and I'll be okay. And so it really offered me the strength that I needed in a time where I was not feeling very grounded.
James Divine: I know you in Tampa in the middle of that hurricane.
Katie Rempe: But luckily, stood strong. Like I said I went around to all of the trees before the wind really started, and I asked for their help, and they all helped.
They all stood strong for their safety and ours. All right. Let's take a quick break. And when we come back, we'll talk about making with Brown.
Learn Palmistry!
---
James Divine: Why learn palmistry? The divine hand method of palmistry will give you a transformative and empowering understanding of palmistry that is distinct from the conventional fatalistic approaches that are prevalent today in other palmistry methods. Here are three major distinctions of the divine hand method.
Number one, freedom from fatalism. The divine hand method reveals patterns, not predictions. Liberating you from the predictive meanings assigned to features on the hand. Every attribute on the palm carries both aligned and misaligned qualities. This understanding gives you, a recipient of the reading, profound freedom to choose your path.
Number two, rubrics and patterns. Instead of memorizing fixed interpretations. It allows you to discover a logical foundation you can apply universally, making the process of palmistry more intuitive and insightful. The rubrics also carry over between palmistry and other metaphysical practices like astrology and tarot.
The knowledge gained from the divine hand method can be seamlessly applied across multiple modalities, enriching your overall spiritual understanding.
And the last reason to learn palmistry, spiritual growth and self awareness. As you explore The intricacies of palmistry, the insights you gain from learning about your hands and the hands of others often leads to a deeper understanding of your own unique gifts. And this is so often accompanied by a sense of self acceptance, which can be foundly transformational.
So if you've been interested in palmistry, but you have yet to find something that speaks to you out there, the Divine Hand Method offers practitioners an alternative approach. One that shifts the focus from prediction to understanding patterns and revealing deeper truths.
Through the Divine Hand Method, you will embrace the power of the hands as a source of insight, inspiration, and personal growth in the journey through life's mysteries.
Join me in learning the divine hand method of palmistry in either my introduction to palmistry or my intermediate level of palmistry.

James Divine: Hey, Katie. Violets are blue. Roses are brown. The colors we see don't get us down. I know. That's
Katie Rempe: right. All right.
James Divine: Speaking of brown. Yes. When we were talking about yellow, we were looking at all the different companies that have yellow logos, and we were like yellow, who loves yellow?
BROWN LOGOS
---
James Divine: You love yellow. I do. And it was hard for me to really think about companies that have brown logos like how is brown really used out there?? And I thought who the heck would have a brown logo but then you said:
Katie Rempe: what can brown do for you?
Duh, UPS. Yep. And so that
James Divine: was also in the yellow logos. And what are they known for? Stability, reliability, UPS will bring you that package. And what
Katie Rempe: color are the packages usually? Brown. Like a box, right?
James Divine: Cardboard. Yep. So they're really leaning into that. Branding. So it's pretty interesting to think about, how they're using brown and how the magical associations also overlap with the marketing feeling of Brown.
Yes. But it's interesting when we look at the logos for Brown, what are other things that are brown? We talked about 'em earlier.
Katie Rempe: Yes. Chocolate for one, . So if you're a chocolate company, odds are you probably have at least some brown, if not predominantly brown.
Much like Hershey's or M and
James Divine: Ms. M and Mss. Yes. Or. If you are a coffee company. Yeah, you are most likely going to have a brown or have brown in your logo and although Starbucks has a green logo today Originally the old fashioned which I love their original logo If the you know the mermaid the boobs out mermaid.
Katie Rempe: I was thinking just like cotton the cotton company
James Divine: The if you're gonna promote cotton as an industry
I guess it can't really be white or you wouldn't see it. That's a brown logo.
Katie Rempe: Yep, brown background, white cotton.
James Divine: We also have like very accessible, down to earth, simple, like Cracker Barrel.
That's brown and I think a gold background. So I never really thought about Cracker Barrel having that brown and gold. But that's very down home, very Country. Very country, that's very inexpensive. So on one end of the spectrum. I'm coming out of the sort of like very simple, I don't have to have a lot of money, I can eat at Cracker Barrel.
But there's another side of that spectrum, a brown.
Katie Rempe: Oh, yes. Perhaps you are familiar with the Louis Vuitton vL logo. Which is stamped everywhere. And think leather also is very rich.
And lux. And of course, they might want to put that in there because I'm sure a lot of their accents are high quality, I would hope leather goods. Yeah. Yeah.
James Divine: From LV to Cracker Barrel. From LV to CB. That's right. Brown's got it down.
Katie Rempe: And both are, if you think of it, two sides of the spectrum, like you said, of being something that is quite reliable.
So if you think okay, if I'm in theory paying this much for a bag, it should last my whole life, pass it down to my kids heirloom style. And also where Cracker Barrel is like everywhere on every exit and so that's another like reliable stop where you can go that you can even like RV camp at a lot of their parking lots, which is pretty cool.
James Divine: Right.
Katie Rempe: If that's your scene,
James Divine: you could be doing that for free. Walk into your CB with your LV bag.
Katie Rempe: Oh, yeah, exactly. Get a little country fried steak.
James Divine: Yum.
Katie Rempe: As it turns out, if you're a company that sells something that's brown, you probably will have brown in your logo for that sympathetic aspect.
Making With Brown
---
James Divine: Most likely, yeah. Let's get to making. As a designer, as a maker, when we think about Brown, I think the 70s are over. That was probably Brown's shining moment.
Katie Rempe: Yes, brown and orange in all their glory, woof. Yeah,
James Divine: How popular is brown today and are people using it in the fashion industry?
Katie Rempe: I would still say it is prominent, however, it's a hard sell, at least in terms of The yarn world, which is where my expertise lies, the browns that I would always make because you had to have one in order to really have the look of the line feel right
but I think that most people, when they use a brown they use mostly brown. So it's not like a lot of bits of brown. I know at least that's been my experience. I'll go for an entirely brown shirt or a big brown cape or something like that to wrap me up in that chilled vibe. But generally it's...
It's a lower selling color, so I think, like you said, it had its time and a lot of people have a bit of a kind of nostalgia for it that they don't care for. So
James Divine: yeah, that's too bad. There's nothing better than a beautiful brown. Wrap. I used to have this brown sweater that I absolutely love this wool sweater and it was bulky and fantastic.
And it just, the epitome of comfort. And I love, like a brown wool coat in the winter. Yeah. Brown corduroy pants, so I can. Yeah, I could see like knitting a really cute brown, hat, a floppy hat or something. A winter cap or something would be really fantastic.
If you're doing anything for a team, like the Cleveland Browns, a lot of team sports have maybe a brown stripe or something. So that could be. one area. I bet you in Cleveland, they sell brown.
Katie Rempe: Absolutely. They do. Yeah. Brown and orange. That is the only place in the whole country. That's yeah, it's still in. It's still in. We love it. And maybe that was like the last time they won was the seventies too. I don't think it's sorry, Cleveland. But yeah.
So interestingly enough, speaking of brown yarns, I was like, man, maybe I should look and see what kind of brown yarns I even have.
Do I have any brown? Yes, I do. So I found a couple, one of which is this like almost reddish tone brown. So very warm brown, but it's very heathery. It's like almost a tweed. It has a lot of light bits in here as well. And I really feel like it, it looks like a tree, right?
James Divine: Like a tree. Yeah. What could you imagine making out of that?
I
Katie Rempe: made a t shirt out of it. You did? I did. Yes, this is the skein I had left when I was done. So I always buy an extra. So you used that
James Divine: fingering weight tweed wool yarn to make a t shirt.
Katie Rempe: Yep. It was it had just a plain stockinette front, but the back was all lace. So it was really
James Divine: pretty.
Oh my gosh. What happened to that? You still have it? I
Katie Rempe: don't have it anymore. It was something that I made a long time ago but it was a lot of fun to make I remember first seeing it at a trade show in that exact color and I was one of those people that was like, yes That I need that exactly that
James Divine: so so cute.
Oh my gosh, that's so cute. Yeah All right. What else you got?
Katie Rempe: All right. I have one more this one I've I had an idea of what I wanted to make it was a cardigan and I just haven't ever gotten there yet But the yarn is so beautiful that I just couldn't Say no and just get rid of it. So it's a, like a variegated, but very tone on tone color.
James Divine: What am I seeing here? Darker Browns and more golden Browns
Katie Rempe: and like a reddish tone Brown. And it's got sparkles in it. Jim. You
James Divine: can't really
Katie Rempe: see it.
James Divine: Gorgeous. That is beautiful. Yeah.
Katie Rempe: Oh, so one day this is going to be some, this may actually be something sooner than later now that we're talking about it. What
James Divine: does that fingering weight yarn want to be? You think you said
Katie Rempe: a cardigan, but maybe at this point it wants to be a shawl or something. So who knows?
I don't know. Or I was thinking it could make really great, like grounding socks, want to go with something very literal. Sure. Sure.
James Divine: Brown. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I, it would also make really cool fingerless, like gloves just because it has the sparkle and you would see it as you were, it's got that little bit of bling.
Socks are cool, but it's got that little bit of sparkle.
Katie Rempe: Yeah, that's a good point. Maybe it's going to be future river
James Divine: mitts. Yeah, those river mitts are cool. It would also make a really fabulous floppy hat just because of the sparkle too.
Katie Rempe: Oh yeah, I agree. Or like a stole, or basically anything. It's, and it's got a little bit of cashmere in it too.
It's
James Divine: super nice. Yeah. Maybe you need to ground your crown.
Katie Rempe: Ground your crown. I love that. Come through, Katie Rempe. Come through. Jim the designer, I'll make your dreams come true.
James Divine: I know, I do have a pair of purple sparkly socks because of you.
Katie Rempe: That's true. Yeah, good point.
James Divine: So happy.
We already thought of some brown projects, just from this, ground your crown, that could be really cool if, how would you use, so if you made a ground your crown hat. A beanie or a hat or something for your head. I would wear that when I was just, feeling really like nuts and I just need to slow my roll.
And meditate, or I needed to have a day where I need peace, calm, and tranquility. Maybe there would be a variegated yarn that might have a little bit of that red in there, that reddish Brown.
So that's very with my heart and the heart chakra. If I was knitting that, I would center myself. I would really be in meditation. I'd be playing some either some guided meditation or some music that is really about, being in that space and, burning some incense or maybe when it's in my bag, when I'm not knitting, I would have some hematite in there, some black tourmaline in there, some things that are very grounding.
And then when you wear it... You put it on and just feel your whole body relax, your whole body chill. And it's like your magical Benzo. Yeah,
Katie Rempe: it's like that hat Magneto wears in order to not get like the psychic vibes. Yeah, totally. Or that,
James Divine: exactly what that is.
Yeah. Yeah. Ground your crown.
Katie Rempe: Ground that crown. All right. Look for Ground Your Crown coming next month.
James Divine: I'm making Katie make this thing. I'm promising it for everybody and she's Jim, I haven't even thought of this. Stop popping things on in the middle of an episode that I haven't even thought about.
Katie Rempe: \ You gotta take the inspiration sometimes when it comes, right? Didn't we learn that? I'm really. That's fine.
James Divine: I'm channeling this from the aliens to you. That's right.
Katie Rempe: Tell them I said hello and could they hurry up, please? We need their help. It's a shit show and that's brown too, please help.
James Divine: All right what's a project you would use for brown? So I got into your world with knitting. You can get into my world with palmistry or whatever.
Katie Rempe: What kind of like gloves or something can I make so that it would be hard for you to read people's palms or something, like you're just going to have to intuit it based on how you can feel through there, yeah.
Yeah,
James Divine: stitch the orange lines on the glove for
Katie Rempe: me. Yeah, ooh, actually that might be fun. Okay, we got to stop talking about all these awesome project ideas because I'm never going to have time to make them all. But that would actually be really fun, doing gloves with the lines on them, right?
James Divine: The palmistry gloves.
Oh, so cool.
Katie Rempe: So fun. I think actually a really great project to make in Brown could just be like a blanket. It's very utilitarian, it's there for you to be wrapped up in, you don't want it to be, like, really distracting, it's still a color that would show off a variety of different stitch patterns really easily, I think, especially if it's more on the solid side, but, yeah, I think like a grounding blanket, which then you can Spread on the ground also and take with you.
I think that would be really fun.
James Divine: Please send us an email or leave a comment below, if you're watching it on YouTube. That's what we need you to do. How would you use a color brown in your magical making?
Katie Rempe: Definitely. I am inspired to go make something brown, like some coffee or something. Yeah, I think we should wrap this episode up.
James Divine: Sounds really terrible. I'm inspired to go make something brown.
