I need to make a baby blanket for my lil bro and sil 's baby but we don't know the sex and she doesn't like yellow. Shame to I always thought yellow was a cute color, maybe because I had a yellow one as a child lol

What about a nice light green or brown?

Have you thought about combos - green/white or purples/oranges/white?

I tend to have surplus of green but they seem to work out as floor blankets in some weird kind of way. :)

So I have come across repurposing old t-shirts. I turn them into tshirt yarn and now I'm crocheting rugs out of the newly made yarn. I'm so excited. I'm making a rug right now for a co to use in a fundraiser. They have supplied me with boxes upon boxes of shirts to make my new creations. Yes you can make anything out of tshirt yarn all you have to do it cut the tshirt whatever size you are needing to make the project. It is awesome.

Thank you!! How's the blanket coming?

I hear ya on not being able to buy more yarn.

Well, I'm working on a timeout rug for my daughter then I'm making my sister a timeout rug for her twins, my son wants a rug as well, then I'm not sure what I'll do next. Probably something else for my daughter unless someone wants me to do another rug.
