I also hit the craft store and picked up some yarn so I can start on an afghan for my nephews. It's about time. I made an afghan for my sister about 4 years ago, and the boys have been bugging me about getting their own ever since. One wants shades of blue, and the other wants red and black. I picked up some multi-colored yarn that is red, black and white, but didn't see any good blues. I'll have to hit some other stores later, but at least I can get started on one of the blankets now.
