  3. 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.

  30. 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.
