The colour is called "Mist" and has the most beautiful combination of pinks and a really pretty pale, almost mauve-y gray.
Pictures of the skein before and after winding. Couldn't you just squish it and stare at it all day? No? Well, I could.
I didn't think the colours needed to be made into something with a fancy pattern - they'd be just pretty in a plain stockinette stitch. So I decided on Knitty's Monica. If I don't have enough of this yarn to do a matching ruffle, then I will get some contrasting - maybe in darker pinks (all suggestions welcome). Here is the stockinette from a distance.....

I enjoyed working with the STR for the Baby Surprise Jacket so much, that I couldn't wait to start this project too. I officially have fallen heavily for Blue Moon Fiber Arts. Now I understand Irishgirlie's addiction ;-)
