Riiiip


Here is HH before ripping. The 3 pattern repeats I added to section A increased each side by 36 stitches, thus one fan per side. The math in this pattern is glorious. In order to do the additional 6 pattern repeats I had planned for section B I would have needed yarn for 7000 more stitches (half a ball), so riiiip. *Next* time I knit HH I'll use yarn that doesn't sand my hands smooth and I'll know exactly what yardage I need in order to knit a much larger size. By the way, the color on my screen appears true this time, a lovely deep amethyst. And here's the current mindless project, Alfred's size 13EEE socks in Trekking. I bought two balls so I'll definitely have enough yarn.
