Knitting Instructions:Â Â
With your ball of Malabrigo yarn, Paris Night and a set of size 15 knitting needles, follow these simple steps. Â
Cast on 20 stitches, and knit every row until you have pretty much finished the ball of yarn (aka garter stitch
When you are done, please slip the stitches onto a stitch holder (or a regular large safety pin will do) or bind off the stitches to finish the panel. Please know that if for any reason you don't finish the panel, not to worry.  Return what you have and another knitter will finish it off. Â
Once you are finished, please do the following three things:
1) Â Write the name of each knitter on a piece of paper and pin that to the panel they knitted, or helped knit. Â
2) Â If any particular stories/thoughts/memories about Brendan come to mind, feel free to jot those down as well and send them along with the knitted panels.
3) Â Â Put all of the above in an envelop and send to/drop off at: Jackie Ogg 1503 Red Oak Drive, Silver Spring MD Â 20910. Â
