local blavoR - paTIO jam
By Sarah Jo Burch
The Depot Arsaga's is a magnificent local coffee shop/creperie with a wide patio overlooking one of Fayetteville's trails. The sky overhead, the brickwork and rusty metal of railroad tracks and nearby old buildings, the raised herb beds and the towering trees, the ding of a ready order and the local musicians who gather to play - inspiration comes from these!

Cast on 8 stitches, placing a marker at the center. Knit across. [K1, kf&b, knit to one stitch before marker, kf&b, slip marker, kf&b, knit to one stitch before end, kf&b, k1. Knit across.] Repeat these two rows a total of 3 times. \*[K2, yo, knit to one stitch before marker, yo, k1, slip marker, k1, yo, knit to two stitches before end, yo, k2. K2, purl to last two stitches, k2.] Repeat these two rows a total of 2 times. [K1, kf&b, knit to one stitch before marker, kf&b, slip marker, kf&b, knit to one stitch before end, kf&b, k1. Knit across.] Repeat these two rows a total of 4 times.\* Repeat from \* to \* until shawl is desired length. Bind off knitwise and stretchily (l used Jenny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off), then block. There's enough yardage in two hanks of Jitterbug to do 16 repeats, plus some left over for a tassel - this creates a shawl that is 60" wide and 28" to the point.

The designs in this collection were inspired by the town I live in and love. Photos are shot around town, and supplies, props, and additional garments are also local (to the best of my ability). Yarn from Hand Held. Bells from Dark Star. Tshirt from The Mustache: Goods and Wears. Photos shot at The Depot Arsaga's. Pattern @ Sarah Jo Burch 2013, Photography @ Adam Burch 2013
