Everything from palest lilac to royal purple. Buntings and blankets. Enjoy the fun of planning for the new child.MaureenTakomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04522409462479539243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-2684539249132154522016-11-28T13:32:45.565+00:002016-11-28T13:32:45.565+00:00For the non-affluent here in the US, the situation...For the non-affluent here in the US, the situation can be pretty grim. The same problem exists with underpaid staff, constant turnover. In my day job I help finance affordable rentals for seniors and the waiting list for affordable units is miles long. <br /><br />Sorry to go off on that - I am glad your husband is seeming better, which must help you somewhat.<br /><br />What about a striped baby blanket?Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-70592122269346622452016-11-28T11:29:00.846+00:002016-11-28T11:29:00.846+00:00Love all the color suggestions especially the stri...Love all the color suggestions especially the stripes. So fun to knit. Also ran across a soft orange once in a washable Baby yarn by Rowan. What a delicious dilemma.

Brown & cream sounds delicious.<br />And - if it's working for you, I'd wait for the next crisis.

Seemed so grown up, but I gather it is the new thing. I knit a Jared Flood blanket in Madelinetosh grey pashmina. It was lovely, but it does pill.
