Current status:
As of 10 April 2005: Finished!


Notes:
When they say "no dye lot", don't believe them. The two skeins of orange were two different thicknesses, and the two yellows have different sheens. So I'm pretending that these are two completely separate blankets, and making sure not to mix the squares from each.

And I will be certain to inspect dates of production on Red Heart yarns from here on in.

(In case you're thinking that this is a Red Heart problem alone, it isn't. I've seen similar variations in Caron One-Pound yarn.)
