Okay this is my first KAL and I'm loving this pattern

After giving up buying yarn for Lent, I went to the LYS and prepared to buy some Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece for my Green Gable. Turns out they don't carry it...on my way out of the store I found this yarn. It is GGH Bali (50% cotton/50% acrylic) for $4/skein (I needed 5 skeins). I don't usually knit with blends but this pattern might do well with the blend as it is so fitted.






I've also learned that digital cameras just don't capture purples very well...so I scanned it. This is a much truer representation of the color.


I started knitting last night...this is a fun pattern. However I'm concerned with the recent posts saying that it runs small...time will tell.
