This will also make for a beautiful baby blanket. The color combination is just perfect for babies. It's inspiring to have the pattern on the front page. Thanks.

You can add patterns to Ravelry even if they're not in the database. When you're adding your project, it will give you that option and you can link it in your comments. You can also email the mods and ask that they add it.

I wish Roseanna or someone at AFC would add these 'ghans to the Ravelry database. I get a lot of my patterns from here and AFK and I can't add the patterns or projects to my account on Rav cuz they aren't in the database.
