Special Gift from the Mods to Amy and Sheldon
As most of you already know, Amy and Sheldon recently had a sweet little baby girl! 
The nine moderators of the KH forum all worked together to make a blanket for the baby. We thought that the rest of you would enjoy seeing what we made. 
The finished product!
Each of us made a square, using Plymouth Encore worsted weight yarn in red, orange, or yellow.
Square #1 - Jan in CA
Square #2 - Ingrid
Square #3 - Jeremy
Square #4 - Suzeeq
Square #5 - Shandeh
Square #6 - ArtLady1981
Square #7 - Kemp
Square #8 - dustinac
Square #9 - Silver
When the squares were all complete, I seamed them together and added a crochet border.
Closer view of the border:
We really enjoyed making this blanket together!  |

That is one nice baby blanket; they say bright colors are good for them, you certainly picked the right ones.
