Knitting math

Things I failed to take into consideration when I decided I wanted to do a shawl in sock yarn: it takes not a little more knitting with sock yarn, but much more knitting to get things to the same size as with a thicker yarn.

( The math )

Having considered the math (way too late...), it appears that I'm doing at least twice the knitting this time around. Oops. Lesson learned: avoid doing shawls in sock yarn unless you enjoy being Taken to Math Skool by your knitting.
