Lion Brand Notebook ®
This month, our CEO, David Blumenthal, celebrated a big birthday. We honored the day at our annual company barbecue. As a special way of recognizing David’s birthday, an afghan was created from a patchwork of knit and crochet squares created by people who work at Lion Brand, as well as some names you may know from the world of knitting and crochet. Included among the designers and makers of squares were Nicky Epstein, author, designer and creator of one of Lion Brand’s most enduring patterns, the Tree of Life; Trisha Malcolm, the editorial director of Soho Publishing; and Nathan Vincent, the fiber artist who designed the 7 Wonders Of The Yarn World. There were also squares made by Vanna White and her daughter Gigi.
David was surprised and thrilled with his gift as you can probably tell from the smile on his face!
If you are giving a group gift to someone, why not try this idea of having a number of people contribute squares to make an afghan to commemorate the occasion? Here are a few afghan patterns to get you started:
