I decided to join an on-line knit along....

This is the pattern graph all taped together....  It's knit from the top down... I've made it to the 5th row.. I'm well behind most of the people as I joined late and just got my yarn yesterday... pictures of the WIP will follow!  (i'm knitting the smallest size which is the red lines)

The KAL is for 'the pan-am jacket' which if it works should be pretty!  This is the picture from the front of the pattern... you can download it from interweave or find it in the winter 2011 Interweave knits magazine....

Mine will be purple I'm thinking about making the bands red.....
