Question for the AKA's
 

Hi ladies. A woman at my work who is an AKA is pregnant and is due in the winter. She knows that the baby is a girl. I wanted to knit a baby blanket for her and seeing as pink is a color that's always used for girls I wanted to use pink on it, then I thought about doing pink and green. I don't know how she would feel about it, though. What do you think? Would you want your daughter to have pink and green stuff?

Personally, yes. I plan on dressing my nonexistent girlperson in pink and green. I think it's a very thoughtful gift.

heck yeah!
 

I thought we had a thread about gifts, but I couldn't find it (only the one for new initiates, and that's not really appropriate for this). Always search-challenged. Anyway, OF COURSE I will dress my daughter in pink and green!!! Are you kidding????? People will hate her as much as they hate me, lol.

Already do!
 

My 9 year old daughter has a really cute striped pink and green shirt that she loves to wear (daddy bought it for her). If I see other stuff that's cute in pink and green, I'll definitely get it for her.

I would have to co-sign. I need to find pink and green gifts for my LS' babygirlperson who is due to grace us at the end of October.
;) :D

Are you kidding ? My two year old Kelyce thinks that clothes only come in pink and green! If you ask her what her favorite color is she says "pink and green." I say go for it. Your co-worker would not only love the colors, but the fact that you are making it by hand. The presents from my baby shower that I hold most dear, are those that were handmade. They seem to have more significance and I plan on keeping them as heirlooms for my daughter to give to her daughter one day.

What??? I would just die if someone was to make that for my future AKA:D She may as well get used to the colors lol I can't wait for 6yrs down the road until she gets here lol. I think I'll go knit something now...

It's not a bad idea to start knitting it now seeing as I have discovered that that's roughly how long it takes. ;) Thanks for all your help ladies.

Yeah. . . I started crocheting a blanket for my cousin before he was born. Unfortunately he still doesn't have it, and it's a little cloth on the back of a chair in gran'ma btb87's house. Oh yeah. . . Patrick will be 22 in October. . .

Oh man, this isn't very encouraging. My Big said she wanted a blanket and seeing as I've never knit anything before I thought to myself "how hard can it really be?" so I decided to surprise her and make her one for her birthday. So far, I have about 10 inches done. Her birthday was May 21st....

Yeah, but don't use me as your measuring stick. Once you get in a flow, just do some each night. Maybe it can be her Christmas present! Or her b'day present next year. . . or her Veterans Day 2005 gift. . .or Thanksgiving 2005 gift. . .

Sorry, I couldn't resist! But just do what you can do while you can do it. I've spent whole days cross-stitching, sitting in front of the TV (not lately, this was years and years ago).

I have so many projects that are unfinished, because I'll work on several at one time. I still want to do an afghan and stitch it together; pink and green for me, of course! :D

lol
 

This topic reminds me of my cousins who are AKA's. When ever they buy my nieces clothes they are either pink, or green or pink and green. :rolleyes: :D It be so funny cause they be having on all this p and g and then if you look down they have on either red socks or red and white ribbons or baretts or red etc. lol.. if they wear anything p&g I make it a point to have something red on them. It be so funny how people look at them. They be like uhhh that don't match.Who dressed them :D Its hilourous.
