A wee bit of work

The yarn in the previous post has now assumed a new life. It is always amazing to me to see something knitted up and how sometimes it looks nothing like the original skein. In this case, this is only a wee bit of the area near the border. I can't reveal more as this item is going to be entered into competition later this year. Since most of my guild will be involved in judging, it's important that they not recognize the item and it's owner. So for now, just know I am completing projects, and did come away from this happy. The color here is really off - it is much greener.

I share a photo of the amount of yarn left when I was done knitting. The scale amount is in grams, so you can see I was pretty close to running out of yarn on the bind off. That five yard piece was all that was left! I used a nifty formula as I worked: NxN + 5N. Where N is the number of rows worked. This calculates the number of stitches you have worked. Divide your result by yarn weight and you can see how many stitches per gram you are knitting. NIfty! Here is how the formula works.

I working the edging on another shawl, one that had been set aside a long time ago. So, when that is done, I shall have nothing hanging over my head with that kind of history. I have a pair of socks waiting to be finished, but they shall be done quickly -if saying that doesn't jinx me.
