It would be the "Triinu" scarf which says 69 stitches increase 22 stitches evenly....but if I add another repeat to make it wider then I would have 90 stitches, but would I only increase 1 stitch, or is there a magic formula that says I have to increase more (am I making any sense at all as at this hour I'm not really sure). I'm sure glad that you're patient!Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00122419168430816470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17687362.post-2654335941168131832009-09-03T16:57:25.397-05:002009-09-03T16:57:25.397-05:00Cheri: you should know better than this.

Then I realized I didn't know what pattern we were taling about. Then I rocked back and forth for a few minutes sucking my thumb!<br /><br />So what is the patern?Aidanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06303266155929110011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17687362.post-48935645670483544512009-09-03T16:48:12.119-05:002009-09-03T16:48:12.119-05:00I knew that you knit this and I was wondering....i...I knew that you knit this and I was wondering....if I add a repeat to the width, how many stitches would I have to add for the edging? Is there some sort of mathmatical equation that I'm supposed to know (I think I was absent that day).Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00122419168430816470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17687362.post-56512501275376696782009-06-09T18:34:06.161-05:002009-06-09T18:34:06.161-05:00Thank you both!

But I'm home now, I have ordered Chinese for delivery, and as soon as Norbert's trombone lesson is over, I plan to eat, put on my jammies, fix a pot of tea, and relax.Aidanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06303266155929110011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17687362.post-16189692650573836302009-06-09T14:12:45.332-05:002009-06-09T14:12:45.332-05:00aw man, she got here first! anyway, she is right....aw man, she got here first! anyway, she is right. the formula i came up with is <br />K1, (K3M1)x11, center stitch, (M1K3)x11, K1 which is just another way of saying what she said. What are you making? Can't wait to see it.<br /><br />ToddTodd Gockenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200425477554999091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17687362.post-53712808435692549002009-06-09T13:21:40.508-05:002009-06-09T13:21:40.508-05:00Hey Aidan!

The number of increases plus one "for the pot" should give you a centered number, but not necessarily a YO smack in the center of your work, if that makes any sense. <br /><br />Since you're working with an odd number of stitches, I'm guessing you want a YO-K-YO in the center of the work, so here's what you'll want to do: <br /><br />The original number of stitches between increases is 3. For just the center, you are decreasing the number of stitches between increases to 1, which leaves you 2 stitches unaccounted for in the original math. So what do you do? In order to achieve balance (ohmmmm), add one stitch to each edge. Once you start knitting, here's what you'll do: <br /><br />k4, YO, [k3, YO] ten times, k1, YO, [k3, YO] ten times, k4. <br /><br />I always double-check my math by adding up the stitches in the row: <br />k3x20 = 60<br />k4x2 = 8<br />k1 = 1<br />YOx20 +2 = 22<br />Total: 91<br /><br />Voila!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
