My friend is having twin girls!!
I want to make them a ripple blanket each, I was thinking 2 shades of grey, 2 shades of pink for the first one, then same 2 shades grey, 2 shades of purple for the second one.

Ive been going a bit mad buying wool Blush and ive got the grey and silver, which i like, but cant decide on the pinks/ purples!

That sounds gorgeous! I'd go for a lavender and deep purple for the one, and pale and darker rose pinks for the other. The greys would stop it looking too pastel-y. I'm doing a giant granny stripe for my 10-yo son; I started off with blues, greens and browns but when I added in silver, grey and charcoal it definitely gave it a more contemporary look.
What about adding in the charcoal too? It's a lovely shade. Good luck Smile

From the Stylecraft shade chart....what about Wisteria and Emperor for one, and Clematis and Magenta for the other?

This pack might be quite useful to you for your blankets.
