First, you may be able to get the fushia from Joann's. They take off colors as they run out, but restock at night. Check tomorrow, and you may have more options.

Second, for a boy I like the royal blue, leaf, french vanilla, and silver gray. Other colors I like from the lion brand site are intense medium blue or purple, coffee, and sterling.

If you want to go with the three colors (sterling, leaf, and blush) they already have and just find a sub for the fuchsia, I'd try the purple. Of the colors they list it looks like a good alternative.

I like the colors ilanaeid listed for boys... also royal blue, buttercup, mango, and french vanilla. I also like the royal blue/french vanilla/leaf combo with coffee.

Colors are my favorite part of working with yarn or fabric -- follow your instincts and have fun!

So cool, THANK you for your ideas!!

The picking out of the yarn is my favoite part too. I think I like coffee better than the silvery gray now that I picture it.
