Lovely, subtle tones!
And I remember now that you did tell us grand-daughter's name before. Very musical choice. In our family, everything gets shortened, so she would be "Allie" in no time. My nephew named their daughter "Clementine" but nobody, not even her parents, uses the full name. I admire people who manage to stick to their original choice (and persuade others to do it also).

I ended up at Hobby Lobby tonight. I went to get the I Love This Yarn in sportweight but not enough colors were in stock.
I ended up with their Yarntopia. The colors are perfect. It’s extremely soft with a silky feel. Should drape beautifully.
I intend to order some Stylecraft DK for other baby items. Lots and lots of things will be made!
I’ll post a pic as soon as I get some blocks done.
Thanks guys!!

Connie,
Congratulations on the grandchild!
I have had good luck with Stylecraft DK.? It's nice for an acrylic and has a wide color range.

I didn't check the pattern for the desired? yarn weight, and I sort of hate to endorse them, but I've had very good luck with the I Love This Yarn line from Hobby Lobby. There's a huge range of colors, and the yarn holds up well to careless laundering.

Jenny,
They’ve chosen Aliyah May. ? (Sounds like uh-Lee-uh.) Just picked it from a list of baby names as far as I know. ??

I like the sport weight cotton from Appalachian Baby Designs. Washable, soft, and I’m pretty sure they have all the colors you’re looking for.?

Thank you, Jenny!
I did a square using some cotton yarn I had here just to make sure it was as easy as it looked. ?It was. ?
I just need to figure out what yarn to use that offers white, blush pink, sage green. ?Those are the colors she’s doing the nursery in.?
I do believe this will end up being more of a decorative blanket than an everyday use blanket. ?
Hope someone will have a great suggestion! ?I gotta get cracking. ?She’s due April 10th but I’m positive she won’t make it that long. ?The baby is really low and she’s already miserable from everything stretching.
?I’m betting on April 1st. ?Lol

That’s pretty, Connie. And lovely news about the grand-daughter to come. Wish I could give yarn advice, but I’m out of touch too.

Hope you’ll let us know how the blanket goes along/turns out.

Hey guys!
I need suggestions on the best baby yarns. ?I’d like to crochet a baby blanket for granddaughter in the making. ?
This is what I’m thinking of making.?
Definitely has to be washable and soft, ?of course. ?I’m so out of the loop on recent yarns. It’s sad.?
