I’m now back to working on my what does the fox say? shawl. I’m at the point where I need to decide how wide to make it. I had a few stitch counts in mind for what might be the right size. I just hit the first one. I pinned it out and see exactly how wide it is now.
It’s a meter wide and about half a meter deep. I can keep going. That is not long enough to wrap around your neck. I know the shawls I have that are about two meters wide can be a bit too large, so I think I need to aim for a meter and a half. Now I just need to work to the second stitch count and measure again.
I’m a bit worried about having enough yarn. I really wish I had a kitchen scale to measure exactly how much yarn I’ve used. That would make life much easier. I’m planning on a knit on border and I know those always use much more yarn than you expect. I always stress about having enough yarn. All I can do is keep knitting and not make the shawl too big!
