But what's a guy to do once it's gone 5 o'clock and the candles need to be lit? Why, knit contentedly on his Niebling by the light of an oil lamp, of course!
I've determined that if I'm only able to knit the smaller size, that would be about 101,148 stitches before the bindoff (I'm also considering a knit on edging since my crochet technique leaves something to be desired). Based on the fact that I've gotten through row 62, that's 11,880 stitches and about 11.75% completed (provided I don't do a knit on edge...) I'm thinking I'll have enough lace to do the small size plus a knit on edge, but not enough to do the large size. I still need to calculate the number of stitches that would be on the off chance. :)
Happy knitting everyone!
you are a diehard! knitting Niebling by oil lamp ~ holy smokes!
ReplyDeleteglad you guys are hunkered down and cozy ~ I'm jealous of you being on row 63 since my yarn is stranded somewhere on the east coast and I have no idea when I'll see it ;(

Jeff ~ I'm 2 rows shy of where you were at this post ~ your 11% = my 0.0228%
