The hiking #socks finished! Quite pleased with the result. #knitting

And this is where everything went wrong, as I got the following measurements:

1/6 → 112 g
1/5 → 111 g
1/4 → 107 g
1/3 → 105 g

and that, well, it's very much not linear at all.

I suspect that the problem is that the error from the scale is big enough compared to the values.

OTOH, I think I can already be confident that the result will be “pretty light”

Using the method where the beginning of the shawl is the swatch, I estimated that I probably want to keep #knitting until I have about 150 stitches in the first half of the needle (i.e. 301 total stitches), as that should correspond to something around 1.5 meters on the long edge.

I've then calculated the square root of a few nice round fractions to know how many stitches there are on the half-needle when I've done that fraction of the total number of stitches / surface.

And then I tried to weight the yarn cake at those points to estimate how much the final shawl will weight / how much yarn I'm going to use.

@fiberarts I like #knitting charts, but sometimes I end up squinting while trying to count the number of stitches in a section, so I like to annotate with repeats to save me the strain
