H has 2 cousins who are/were expecting babies this year. L had baby Charlie at the end of September. He is such a cutie. I don't usually pick bright colours but I was desperate to make him a rainbow blanket.
I think I may have to buy more of the colours and make myself a version of it. I absolutely love it.
Then M is expecting a little girl in November so I needed to make her a blanket too. Now M isn't a girlie girl so the colours I picked originally, needed changing somewhat. I decided to add a blue (I love blue) but all the way through I kept changing my mind whether I liked it or not. Even now it has been gifted I am not convinced that I like it. The original colours were the pale pink, purple and grey. I then went back weeks later and got the blue and when I sat down knew it wasn't right so found the multi in my stash (I have a stash ;-) )
I have learnt a lesson. Don't choose colours in 3 different sittings. I wish I had chosen either a less bright blue (it's brighter in real life) or a silver grey. These things are sent to try us.
Ironically M has decided that this baby is going to start life as a girlie girl and has embraced pink!!!!
What are you making at the moment?
I'm sure both will be treasured for the love and thought which went into them.
