How do i crochet names in blankets ? crochet doiles .com has good ideas any others?

I recently created an afghan with a last name of Vaughn. I printed it out on 8.5 x 11 paper over a printed graph (a href="http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/multiwodth/)" rel="nofollow"http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/multiw…/a using the largest and prettiest font, counted the color changes, (row count) crocheted it in a panel then granny squared around the edge alternating rows of the cream and taupe colors. We gave it as a housewarming gift to my boyfriend's boss and wife.
