Can't Sleep

Since it's 3:30 a.m. and I can't sleep--although, now as I type I'm getting drowsy--I thought I'd post tonight's knitting and otherwise yarn-related accomplishments. First, a square for a baby blanket that I worked on:

Then, an enormous tangled mess of yarn that I patiently unraveled to form this masterpiece--a Zen-like experience, perhaps:

The colors of the yarn don't look right; the pink square is a very pale pink with flecks of darker pink, yellow, and blue. The greenish one is light lime green and light yellow. Both kinds of yarn are especially for baby blankets. I probably won't put the two together for this blanket, though--they have a slightly different texture. I have a skein of blue yarn with flecks that's just like the pink. Ack, trying to make this gender-neutral blanket reminds me once again about how ridiculous gender normativity is. You know, I'd like to make a baby blanket in completely nontraditional colors, like maybe a sage green and off-white blanket or a bright red, yellow, and blue blanket, since babies see those colors best anyway.
