I started skein #4 on the little blanket I'm making. This might be the last skein, or I might need to do a little knitting from a fifth. (Partly this depends on whether or not I add another stripe. I'm currently leaning towards no, but someone mentioned to me the other day that the existing colors are all pretty traditionally masculine, which made me worry about being a gender normative enforcer and think about adding a stripe of orange or something, but it may be best to leave well enough alone.)

I think it will take a month or less of work to complete this, but I'm going to put this at least partly on hold shortly, because my nephew's birthday is in a few weeks (he's turning three) and I have an idea for something to knit for him. I think I'll start working on it at SNB tomorrow. (I won't say further about it here, because my sister and her husband might read this.)

although i love the asymmetry of the two stripes alone, i think the orange stripe sounds exciting too.
i'm bad at decision making.

I think that this decision, like the decision to put in the other stripes, will be made spur-of-the-moment. I'm not totally sure you can even get denim yarn in orange.

OK!

Traditional colors?

I thought blue was traditional for boys, and black and blue was traditional for girls. Did my dad teach me something bad?
