What are little boys made of? I have had two, neither were made of snips and snails, haha... but this brings about another nursery rhyme to mind at the moment.
"Little Boy Blue come blow your horn..."
Boys and blues go together, right?
LOL I recently attended a shower for my daughter who is expecting a (the most beautiful) baby boy in Jan. 2011. Her hubby and she have decided they want primary colors in the nursery and that pastel colors are for girls. All pastel colors.
"Mom, look at this crochet pattern... blah blah." lol
I ask you, anyone who might be reading this, where do you find baby yarn in bright colors? Okay, so I found some in Florence, AL back home that was Vanna's Choice Baby Yarn and the colors were not necessarily pastel, but I was later told they were very feminine.
So, the blanket with the matching sweater, I gave to her on Sunday at the first shower and it might or might not ever be used as it was said to be "kinda light colored"... lol ... meaning it is pastel and pastels are for girls.
I really don't mind, since the pattern said newborn and it came out too big and therefore will probably not even fit him until it will be too warm for him to wear it anyway.
The Vanna colors were used to make the second blanket and a hat to match...do you think it is too feminine?
I guess browns like in the monkey hat should have been my first choice.
I did make the white ABC blanket and I will be giving her that one at the next shower in Huntsville where she lives now. I will save the colorful one for the shower back home. By then, I hope to have boots made to match the monkey head...err, I mean, Sock Monkey hat I made. They will be knee boots.
So, he will have a couple of blankets and a sweater or hat or two he might not ever wear, but....
Her plan is to have a picture made of him wearing nothing but the sock monkey hat and boots. :)
What Gramma can complain about that?! Not this one, for sure!
