Blanket Square for Benne

Here is a secret project I have been working on.  It's a blanket square for a dear knitting friend of Elann,  Benne.  She just recently had surgery, and we thought she could use a communal hug in the form of a blanket.  I think about a couple of dozen people participated, each contributing a piece of the finished blanket. 

I am actually knitting the cardigan, Spring Forward, so making a square from the pattern was sheer pleasure.  Also, because this square was part of a group project, knowing that it was going to someone so dear made it all the more special.

Pattern:  Variation of a pattern from Janet Szabo's Spring Forward cardigan

Yarn:  Elann Highland Wool, color 87M2, Red Maple

Amount Used:  135 yards (124 meters), 2.2 ounces (62 grams)

Needles:  KnitPicks Options size 6 (4 mm)

Your square is gorgeous!!! And I know it looks better in real life because I knit my square with the same colorway.
