Shaping Note:
Within the lace pattern, each [yo] is paired with a decrease. When increasing or decreasing at edge of work (ie. when shaping waist, sleeves, etc.), be sure to keep lace pattern correct. Do not work a [yo] if there are not enough sts to work its accompanying decrease.

Three-Needle Bind Off
Hold both pieces of knitting with right sides together.
Insert needle into first st on front needle and first st on back needle, and knit them together. *Repeat this for the next st on the front and back needles. Draw the first st worked over the second st.*
Repeat from * to * until all sts have been bound off. Break yarn and draw through remaining st.

Ruby is currently a 3rd year medical student in Ohio but is originally from Northern California and longs to return home.

Her love of needlework was established at a young age when her mother taught her the basics of knitting, crochet, and cross stitch. She only recently picked up knitting again and laments the lost knitting time.

In between cramming for board exams and trying not to get pummeled on the hospital wards, Ruby tries to eke out a few rows of knitting every once in a while and dreams about her next design project.
