Day 1 of the Knit-Out was quite exciting. As I posted earlier, Purl was busy posing for the camera at the various vendor booths. She certainly felt she was “Queen of the Mall” that day. She wanted to play “Where is Purl” among the fibers.

My daughter called for a scarf she could wrap around her face while standing outside at recess with her class. She doesn’t want a claustrophobic feeling. A quick headband would also be needed to keep her ears warm.
The scarf idea came from bekah at ravelry.
