Yarn - Boyish colourways

Postby Hannahboo » Tue Jun 05, 2012 3:51 am

Can anyone suggest some nice boyish colour ways for yarn for bump. I have spotted a couple I want from Pixie knits and LLS but would love suggestions :thumbsup:

What colours do you like? Or not like?

I love Snugglebots - Dr Who and Dragons and Neverland are my current wants. Kirsty at Wharfdale Woolworks has some lovely softer tones too.

I love most blues, turquoise, teal, jade green, dont mind a bit of purple on boys either, rainbows. I dont really know TBH :giggle: I have been so hooked on looking at girly colour ways for so long that I just dont know where to start with boys :roll:

To give an example of ones I like, LLS John Doe which I think I want to make a cardigan with, Pixie Knits paintbox for longies, just so much to chose from. Shall have a look at Snugglebots too. Dont want to buy too much to begin with. Thinking maybe enough for 2 pairs of longies, 2 soakers, 2 cardigans, 2 hats and thats it I think :-?

I have those three Simone mentioned and they are all gorgeous, as is Snugglebots Atlantic Ocean.
I've just bought my second lot of Pixie Knits Autumn Trees and on my wish list are Ali's Waterfall, Zombies, some more Banana Split and Chameleon.
So many fabulous colourways to choose from you will be spoilt for choice :)

A knitted one? I just did one for Kerr and had to adapt/make up the hoodie pattern because nothing was quite right. I will post a pic later today, I'm quite proud of this one :giggle:

@hannahboo
Jo at knittybugz did me some gorgeous longies for me to give to a friend as a present
They were in oceanic!
Soft blues, greys and creams - perfect for baby boys!
