I adore neutral baby colors like green and yellow. I have a boy and I mostly wear green, yellow, and blue

yarns. I love that kind of yarn.

After discussion with my daughter and the mother of the new mom I decided to make it larger than a baby blanket. My daughter said she got a lot of blankets but many of them were too small after just a few months.

So this one is large enough that the mom can snuggle with the baby in it, use it as a coverlet on the bed she grows into after crib days are over, drape over a chair etc . If I have enough yarn left I may make one for the carseat.

I used Painbox yarn which is very reasonably price; I ordered it from Lovecraft. The ladies who do the video tutorials really praised this yarn so I thought I would give it a try. I love this yarn!! It comes in 56 colors in the acrylic version.

For my boy baby blanket I am thinking of a shaded blue ombre or a cake yarn with a lot of different blues I am not thinking about those two blankets right away.

His name is Adrian.
