A New Year's Resolution

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to finish several projects before starting any others. This baby blanket is for Matt and Amy, and I'm worried it's not baby-like. It is soft and I really like the color and not all baby blankies have to be pastel ... right? The sex of this child will not be known until birth and I'm really bored with yellow and all of it's derivatives. But I worry that this blankie might be a tad boring.

On the other hand, boring can be good. We found out at the birthday party that Greg and Michelle are expecting another girl, and Michelle shared that she's thinking of using magenta, orange, and lime in the nursery. I picked up some yarn at All About Yarn and started another blankie, finished a four inch square, and promptly frogged it. This yarn hurts my brain. I'm sure it would keep a baby up at night. I'll exchange the yarn for some nice pastels, and make a hat out of the used skein.

And I really need to finish Ben's blanket. And the picket fence valances for the kitchen.
