I knew you all would come through for me (: <br /><br />So now the plan is to do a blanket based on these colours - fingers crossed I find the right colours of yarn tomorrow!! <br /><br />Knittingknirvana - you made an awesome point about the blanket probably not being used in the nursery for the first year, but that the reason I should choose similar colours is because they are ones that the parents like. I had just been thinking about what would make a pretty blanket, and not about what would be the best choice for the mother's personal tastes, so this was great advice!! <br /><br />Thanks again everyone for helping me out!! Getting your opinions and suggestions was just what I needed (:Armidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09960154951583978392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1363402694860092195.post-19165701987557229702011-08-09T21:52:55.407-04:002011-08-09T21:52:55.407-04:00I would use the nursery bedding as a basis of colo...I would use the nursery bedding as a basis of colors. Regardless of where the blanket will be used, at least you know the parents like the colors that are in the bedding. I wouldn't stress about getting it to "match", but instead I would use it as your inspiration in picking your colors (orange, green, blue, brown, beige/cream). <br /><br />I would bet the blanket will be used every where but the nursery. Babies are about a year before they can even have loose blankets in the crib. And, typically, babies don't spend much time in their nurseries other then sleeping and diaper changes.<br /><br />What a lucky baby and mama to have you crocheting for him/her!!!! :) :) :)knittingknirvanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383985032723786341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1363402694860092195.post-45565998438311634582011-08-09T17:56:00.300-04:002011-08-09T17:56:00.300-04:00Good question.

Otherwise, the blanket could always be used for every day traveling right - a stroller blanket &/or an infant carrier one?Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081916135477167930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1363402694860092195.post-73737237385860795942011-08-09T17:43:08.057-04:002011-08-09T17:43:08.057-04:00I think you should use similar colors. like a litt...I think you should use similar colors. like a little bit brighter than the colors in the nursery. make a darker brown a darker green etc that way it matches not clashes and doesn't blend in eitherAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07138976531744508656noreply@blogger.com
