The way I see it, I have two choices: do one more stripe in GWAT and the normal border or start the border now and make it wider if I want. Okay, technically I guess there's a third option: do the border now and make it the normal size. Thoughts?

Indecision
I am still plugging away at my Stripe Study Shawl, but I've come to a bit of an impasse. I was planning on making it bigger (i.e., adding more stripes) because (a) I had much more yarn than called for and (b) because of my smaller gauge, it was going to turn out smaller if I knit it as specified in the pattern. So now I've done 13 stripes (the pattern calls for 12) and there's still a decent-sized ball of GWAT left. I could do another stripe and then the border, but the rows are getting really, really long, and the border rows will only get longer.

Make it bigger! More stripes. You won't regret it. I made one standard and one with 13 stripes, both at the size written. The larger one is the one I wear most because it has the extra length to stay on and drape well. Keep with it! You'll be pleased that you did!
ReplyDeleteI agree. keep with it or you'll be unhappy in the end and maybe not wear it
ReplyDeleteUse up all the yarn, another stripe!
