Last night I finally decided on what to make for my new niece/nephew. I couldn't sleep last night because I was so excited to get started, so I think that is a good sign that I decided on the right thing.
I found the pattern on Ravelry, called "Soft-as-a-Cloud Baby Afghan" by Laura Polley.
It is exactly what I was looking for - nothing crazy, yet interesting to look at. I love lacy blankets, but not for babies. A family friend knitted my son a beautiful blanket with eyelets in it, and my little guy would stick his tiny little fingers in there and got it messed up a bit. I ended up putting it away, which was a bummer.
Well, I had to buy yarn today, the first time in months. I didn't have enough of any one neutral color. I got some Bernat Softee Baby in Antique White. I don't know if I love the color, but my sister-in-law isn't really a green or yellow person. And there aren't too many options left after that. Although gray seems to be showing up everywhere as a neutral , I think it might end up as a passing fad.
I can't wait to get started on this tonight. I just started watching Scandal on Netflix. Everyone seems to like it so I thought I would give it a shot. The first episode was pretty good, not really what I was expecting. So after my kiddo goes to bed, it is just me, Scandal, and my needles. Woo Hoo!
