You know that damned crib blanket? Of course you do. That would be the PINK and green crib blanket I knit for my uncle and his wife, who were told they were having a baby girl.
Yeah. They had another ultrasound.
The doctors "can no longer determine" the baby's gender.

Where Stash and Slush Collide
About Me
- Knitterary
- "Oh! Very well," exclaimed Miss Bates; "Then I need not be uneasy. 'Three things very dull indeed.' That will just do for me, you know. I shall be sure to say three dull things as soon as ever I open my mouth, shan't I?" (looking round with the most good-humoured dependence on everybody's assent). "Do you not all think I shall?" Emma could not resist. "Ah! ma'am, but there may be a difficulty. Pardon me, but you will be limited as to number -- only three at once."

- Cabled Cardigan. I was perfect on gauge. The finished piece was 4" narrower than the schematics said it would be. Grr...
- Felted Fair Isle Bag. You will be resurrected some day.
- Kyoto Banff. Lovely pattern, lovely yarn, bad marriage between them.
- Snicket Socks. Hated this pattern. Hated.
- Butterfly. Sometimes the yardage called for just isn't enough
- Jaywalkers. OMG, what a disaster.

I know how !#@!!## you must feel, but if I were you, I'd still gift it. Because the colors are pink AND green, which are nice, bright spring colors anyway. And the colors aren't really the reason you knit it, it has more meaning than that.
If they can't just be thrilled to receive it, regardless of the baby's gender, then they have lots bigger problems than you ever will!
A bit of a shock for you (and them too I imagine). But, now, think of this as an opportunity to defy sex stereotyping!
Oh Dear!
Still medical technology may still be inaccurate! They are not certain either!
However I'm with Bridget...it's a lovely green and the mum can use that side upwards!
Thank goodness your Gran had such a great pattern.
They are going to have a such surprise when the babe comes, they won't even notice! And will think you planned it that way!!!
Gran's pattern saves the Day!
