I think a great name for this beautiful afghan is "Waterfall"

Petals of Violets!

I think "Waves of Glory" fits this to a "T", because not everyone will choose to make it in shades of purple.

I had said cascade, but looking closer I think Mermaid might be an even better name.

Picket fence. No matter what color it reminds me of a picket fence surrounded by flowers.

A good name for the afghan: Ruffles and Ripples and Ridges (a take-off on the Ruffles potato chips ad).

I think Lilac Breeze is a good name for it

Cathedral afghan blanket: I assume this requires size 6mm needles, which is standard for chunky yarn, and is this yarn the colour no MC34. We are lucky to have so many beautiful colours and variations to choose from. I hope to make a smaller, shawl-lap blanket one. With many thanks.
