Alrighty then

I finished another couple of rows on the Endless Winter Solstice shawl. My remaining little ball of yarn is starting to look, well, little.

Out comes the trusty drug dealers scale.

After the previous row, I weighed it as well.

17 rows left, 33.4 g of yarn left

Now I have 16 rows left, and 32.3 g of yarn. So a little more than a gram of yarn per row. But remember, the rows get longer. I add another 28 stitches before the end.

I didn’t do the algebra, though it likely wouldn’t be difficult. 28 stitches isn’t going to weigh much compared to the 665 I already have on the needles.

I should be OK. But it wouldn’t be Chez Knitting Doctor without a bit of drama, would it?

And no, that isn’t salt in that shaker. I buy unscented talcum powder in bulk for my hands to use if things get sticky while knitting. This isn’t uncommon when knitting with lace weight, especially when it has silk in it. The big jar is unwieldy, so I put it in a mini salt shaker. It fits nicely in my knitting bag.
