Someone I know (and whom I love) is having a baby! Not just ANY baby, but a GRANDBABY! I think the news is still hers to tell as she wants, but now that our family members know (that's YOU, Kim, Tony, Barbara, and Randy), I can post my joy!
I got the first hint months ago (well before the fact) when I was told about a cute baby blanket pattern. I kept the pattern in the back of my mind until we got the first inkling that a baby might be on the way. I got out my needles and went to work!
The color scheme matches their home decor with yellows and grays.

| TOP to BOTTOM: Lemongrass, lemonade, stone, tulip, drift, smoke and slate |
Once I knitted down to the drift color, I wondered if should I stick with grays or possibly put in some blue - just in case? (I'm going on record here saying I had a dream that the baby was a boy.)

| Powder and Navy or Smoke and Slate? |
Honestly, there's not much difference, but we decided to stick with the neutral gray tones. When I first saw the pattern, I was not a fan of the chevron pattern. I thought it would be a pain to knit, but I was sooo wrong. It was a lot of fun!
So, no matter baby boy or baby girl, it will be a much loved BABY, just like his/her Mommy (and Daddy)
If we get to know the baby's gender before birth, or even the nursery colors, I have another great blanket pattern I'm excited to knit. One of the teachers at school is having a baby girl in December, so I may start knitting for that blessed event as my next knitting project.
this baby will have THE BEST blankets... and Grandma! :)
