Yarnbombing!

Wonderful!! Ottawa has some Yarnbombing!! Sherry D of Papertician let me know that she saw some Yarnbombing on her way home. I decided to go out of my way to see the yarn. It was worth it! It made me smile.
What is Yarnbombing you ask? Yarnbombing is a random act of placing yarn (usually knitted or crocheted) onto an unlikely source outside, like a statue or (in this case) a railing, normally with the intention to brighten peoples day.
The Yarnbombing was put here (presumably) by Autism Ontario since it had tags on it for world Autism Awareness Day!
How wonderful to see some color on my long way home. :)
Sorry if the pictures have not come out right, this is my first post from my phone.

Nickel for your thoughts?

Any thoughts on what type of boarder I should do?  Or what colour I should use?  Should I stick with the colours that are in the blanket?  Or add others? Use the granny square pattern and just continue that way?  Or do some type of fancy boarder? 
I have not done a boarder before... so if there are any tips/ideas out there for granny square blanket boarders I would love to hear them.

So far I have just done two rounds of single crochet in white.
 
When Matt of According To Matt, made his Glorious Granny Greatness!!!,  that was when I knew I wanted to someday be making a granny square blanket.
I hope mine turns out just as great!
