Niece #1 got a lacy blanket that can be used as a shawl as she gets bigger. I put a lot of time and effort into it.
N/N#2 is due in early June to a different SIL. I'm making the opposite type of blanket for her/him: easy, machine washable pastels. This removes some yarn from my stash, and doesn't interfere with the time I want to spend on DD's cables.
This yarn Red Heart Baby Clouds, colors 9074 "pale pink," 9363 "Breeze," 9321 "Pale yellow," and last label is lost. Why do I have Red Heart? MIL used the green to tie a quilt. I went down to the dime store (yes, my little town still has one) and picked up three other colors, thinking what a cheap, quick project I could make. Now that N/N is coming, I can use it. For 100% acrylic, it's tolerably soft and not really squeaky. It does crackle with static on my Denises.
Using size 13, with a four-color variation of Clouds and Mountains from BWI, p.68. Gauge is about 2.4st/in, width=36"
