Purple duckie is well on its way

Yay! I'm doing BOR's purple duckie and it's going waaaaaay faster than the hearts did! Naturally, I had to stop at Joann's last night to get the purple yarn & bamboo needles. And I have discovered that I think the problem is not with my purls - it's with my knits. There is something wrong, but I haven't figured out exactly what yet. Sigh. I'm about 1/3 of the way done and will try to finish & post a pic tonight.
