Gathering supplies for upcoming project!!

Well I do have around 2 months to plan my upcoming project. I am perusing my Ravelry account looking at what I have in my stash inventory. I did go through some of my yarn bins this past weekend trying to find the perfect yarn combo. 

Backstory, the one room I had all my yarn organized in and accounted for became my daughter's room a year and a half ago. All my supplies are in different areas of the house now since her old room was so much smaller. I have yet to completely organize the new yarn room and so I have bins stuffed in every closet or container I could find. So I really have to organize these next few weekends so I will be ready to go.

The notes for the Throwback Blanket pattern stated that the designer used Caron One Pound yarn. I like Caron, but have found that in a blanket it becomes pealie (not sure that is a word, but it is where little lint knots come up while crocheting a large item).  I am thinking of using either a cotton mixture or wool mixture. I want the blanket to last a lifetime. 

I have a good bit of Cascade Sport Yarn that is a nice wool mixture, but I am worried the weight is not right. I guess the best thing to do is have a few sets of yarn ready and see which ones work up best.

These are the lionbrand natural organic yarn colors that I was working up about 5 years ago for a baby blanket, but the pattern and yarn just did not go well. Then the baby was born and I never finished. I frogged the project and have all this soft organic natural yarn that I think might do the new project justice.

Then we have the Cascade Sport yarn - I love the Walnut and Doeskin Natural with a touch of the purple as an accent color. I just don't know if I have enough skeins of either colorway to complete the blanket.

One thing about project planning, you get to see what you have and make things workout in the best way.
