I am just as guilty as the next teacher of “inventing” reality to make a good lesson come together. But this time the reality was all too real.
Today’s class began with:
After knitting 33% of the picot border the yarn I have left wraps around the remote control 86 times. After knitting 40% of the border the remaining yarn wraps around the remote control 75 times. Will I have enough yarn to complete the border?
The answer, of course, is not enough… so out come my lovely picots and I try again with a bindoff that uses less yarn. How annoying. So much for being done with this project today.
I’m in good company, Grumperina is calculating how much yarn is left today too!
Numerical Knitting 
If that’s pansy All Seasons Cotton I have most of a ball left ffom a sweater I just finished. Yours for the asking.

Oh how sad that you had to rip out that lovely picot border! I hope that mlegan has the right yarn for ya after all, and you can work it all out. I’m really bad at math, and usually I just try to figure more for a pattern than less (unless of course I’m being cheap, which most of the time I am!hahaha.)

What a fun reason to keep a hold on the remote!
