Marie's post has identified several of the squares, with links to the blogger's posts. Alice, Jamie and I knitted them during our knitting retreat in mid-June. Here are pictures of my square and theirs.
Mine, the lacy green one, is the Dayflower facecloth pattern
, which I found on Marie's blog, though the motif is found in quite a few patterns, and is one of my favorites.
Jamie's green square is done in an arrowhead sort of pattern - sorry, I forget the exact name.Alice's lovely deep purple is a motif she took from one of Elsebeth Lavold's patterns, Gyrid, I think.
I finally got to meet Benne on my Vancouver trip; she is a warm and caring person, and being a part of a group knitting project to remind her how much she is valued by the Elann group and each of us was a pleasure. It was a huge amount of work for Libby and the others who organized and put this together, and I thank them for it very much.

I've linked your blog post to mine (http://smariek.blogspot.com/2008/07/photos-of-bennes-blanket.html) so they can come here to see these three squares. I'm still amazed that we managed to pull this off in under a month!
Now if only I could get my act together with the rest of my knitting. I have NOT knit for many days now. It's partly because Miss M has totally given up afternoon naps. However we're hoping to get her into day care/preschool soon, so that should mean I'll have more time to get housework done and some knitting as my reward if the housework is done early.
4 of us knit the BW lace edging, in case you didn't know. ;-}
That 5 ft section of edging was the only thing I've knit in months! Yikes. I can't seem to pick up a needle. I'll just watch you. lol
What a lovely idea?
Phooey, that is not supposed to be a question mark. My typin gskills suck.
Barbara, it was so great to meet you finally. I felt like we had already met after all these years. I cannot tell you how surprised and touched I was by blankie madness. I cannot imagine how you all pulled it off so fast. Never underestimate a knitter. And to think you knit on that square with me sitting right there! You are the sneaky one. :)
