Traveling Bandit
Pattern: Springtime Bandit by Kate Gagnon Osborn
Needle: US 8 / 5.0 mm
Yarn: Berroco Ultra Alpaca / 1.75 skeins = 376.3 yards (344.0m)
I knit this shawl for a friend who is leaving on a world expedition at the end of this week. Since I can't "hug her goodbye" because she's 10 states away, I had to knit her a hug instead.

This yarn, which is a FABULOUS match for the pattern, was purchased a couple years ago with this same friend in mind. Something about the color and warmth of it reminded me of her. I'm glad I was able to find the perfect thing to make out of it.
All my attention is now turned to Terracota Ruffles:
I'm on the ruffle part with 550 stitches on the needle(s). Every stitch is the same regardless of the row, so why is it bugging me that each round takes so long to finish?!?
Finally, do you know how hard it is to photograph a dog that is in constant motion?
Hi Mommy!

ou think it's bad now... it's going to take forever and a day to bind off over a thousand stitches that you'll have on there soon. But it's so worth it, I wear my skirt about once a week in the summer.
