<span style="font-size: large;">I ran out of yarn and cannot get more of the same yarn. The second point is missing.

<span style="font-size: large;">After a week of mourning, here is how I fixed it:</span></div>
<ol style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 24px 1.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Calculate how many stitches are missing</strong> from the non-existent point. This is pretty simple using the charts and Excel. Approximately 1,168 stitches are missing. That gives me a target for how many stitches to remove from the central, point-forming area of the design.</span></li>
<li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Calculate how many rows from the middle of the shawl would give me enough yarn</strong> to knit at least 1,168 stitches. Think in pairs of rows; you need to take out <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">one row on each side of the center</em>. Again, use charts and Excel. This lace pattern has mostly-purl WS rows, and that is a real help here, My calculation takes into account that I want the last complete row remaining after ripping out to be a WS row. This is challenging enough — make it easier where you can. Ripping back to Row 32 and resuming on Row 9 gives me enough yarn for 1,670 stitches. About 500 stitches’ worth for added security! Looking at the charts for the number of rows repeated in the three separate lace patterns, I can see that going from Row 32 to Row 9 will keep two of the three lace patterns consistent. Good visually! The pattern with a 48-row repeat simply cannot be matched this time. (References to row numbers should make sense when you read the pattern in Interweave Knitscene, Spring 2014.)</span><div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-size: large;">How might this have happened? I did a gauge swatch and thought I was on target for gauge, although we all know that a swatch is a sampling for a larger piece, and samples do not always predict full-scale results with perfect accuracy. The designer noted in the pattern that her sample “used almost all of one skein of yarn,” labeled at 490 yards. My skein of yarn is labeled 500 yards. According to the labels alone, I had 10 yards to spare. Yarn producers use averages. The designer’s skein might have had more than 490 yards, and the skein of yarn I have might actually be less than 500 yards. This just happens. It is not a flaw or a fault.</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How might I have prevented running out of yarn on this project?</span></div>
<ul style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 24px; list-style: square; margin: 0px 0px 24px 1.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">Weighing the original ball, without its label, then weighing again near and not beyond the center of the shawlette to be sure I had not used more than half the yarn by weight. Adjust before knitting on.</span></li>
<li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">Using a smaller needle size than I used in the swatch, even though my swatch measured to gauge and had the drape and hand I wanted. When each stitch is a tiny bit smaller, you can knit more stitches with the same amount of yarn.</span></li>
<li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">Choosing a yarn for this pattern with well over 500 yards, either already in hand or available for purchase.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Aside from the added drama of ripping out more than half a lace shawl, I like <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mallory-hills-shawlette" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Mallory Hills Shawlette pattern on Ravelry">this pattern</a>. The photography in the magazine may not do it full justice, nor do these images of the un-blocked work in progress. The number and size of charts will appeal to dedicated lace knitters. The edge treatment is definitive and easy to work. Good pattern!</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The yarn I am using is <a href="http://www.missbabs.com/collections/hand-dyed-yarns/Tarte?page=1" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Miss Babs fingering weight Tarte">Miss Babs Tarte</a>, fingering weight, 4-ply yarn with 75% superwash Merino, 15% nylon and 10% tencel. The purple color is a Babette called “Bubble Bath.” <a href="http://www.missbabs.com/pages/what-is-a-babette" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Miss Babs definition of Babette">What’s a Babette?</a> One-of-a-kind skeins, which you cannot expect ever to see again.

<span style="font-size: large;">This fix works for this project but may not apply to all cases of running out of yarn, and knitters without a geeky streak will not want to use it at all. A similar strategy may work on other projects, especially when there is an obvious middle to the design and you can work out from there to create a new mid-point suited to the amount of yarn you have.</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Would you use this method to eke out a shawl with less yarn than called for? What would you do instead if you had a lace shawl missing its second point?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Easy construction</b>: This is a modified double triangle shawl; the knitter starts by casting on 1 stitch. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After that, she increases twice each row: once at the beginning and once near the center. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After knitting “a while”, the knitter begins to increase 2 stitches at the beginning; this causes the shawl to have long “tails” which curl and appear to require sophisticated shaping.</span><br />

Take your total numer of rows (in my case 204) and multiply by the total number of stitches at the longest row (471) and you get the total number of stitches your shawl requires.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Total rows = 204<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Total sts at last (longest) row = 471<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />204 * 471 = 96,084<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Divide that by 2 and you get the total number of stitches you need to knit to make the shawl.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />96,084 / 2 = 48,042</div>

Now take the number of rows you've knitted, say 165, and the number of stitches on the needle, about 385 (I may be off a couple of stitches but you get the idea) and do the same.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Multiply the current row by the current stitches, divide the result by two and you'll get the number of stitches you have knitted so far.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">While knitting a triangular shawl where one starts with 7 stitches (ignore the set-up rows which use a trivial amount of yarn in the grand scheme of things) and increases four stitches every right side row, if N is the number of rows that have been knit then the total number of stitches done is N² + 5N. (now that I think about it, I am guessing one could derive this from a simple area of triangle formula.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">How does one use this delightfully compact formula? Well, I have knit 10 pattern repeats so far. With 26 rows to prepare for the main pattern, 10 rows per repeat, I have knit 126 rows. Therefore I have knit 126*126 + 5*126 = 16,506 stitches in total.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My scale says this weighs 55 grams, or about 300 stitches per gram.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Looks like plenty of yarn for another pattern repeat or two. Keeping in mind that the finishing will require 12 rows, how much yarn can I expect to use if I knit a few more repeats?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">11 repeats: N = 126 (rows so far) + 10 (11th repeat) + 12 (border/finishing) = 148</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">148² + 5*148 is 22,644 stitches. At 300 stitches per gram, this will use 76 grams of yarn.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">12 repeats: N = 158 Total Stitches = 25,754 or 86 grams</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">13 repeats: N = 168 Total Stitches = 29,064 or 97 grams of yarn.</span><br />

In your Excel workbooks, the data is not always structured according to your needs. Often you may want to split the content of one cell into individual cells, or do the opposite - combine data from two or more columns into a single column. Common examples that require concatenation in Excel are joining names and address parts, combining text with a formula-driven value, displaying dates and times in the desired format, to name a few.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Although raglan and yoke constructions (and even Elizabeth Zimmermann’s set-in model) are seamless, I regrettfully find them ill-fitting on my body. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Like it or not, traditional set-in sleeves just fit me better. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">However, calculating the armhole and sleeve cap shape is time consuming and rather unwieldy for patterns with multiple sizes. This winter, I designed several garments for publication with set-in sleeves. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I created an Excel spreadsheet to calculate the armscye measurement, the perimeter of the armhole. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Still, the spreadsheet required tinkering here and there and was not a very good solution. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When I explained my frustration to Aaron, he decided there had to be a better way. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Using <a href="http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter05/FEATwin05TBP.html" target="_blank">Jenna Wilson’s</a> (girl from auntie) impeccably thorough armscye tutorial in Knitty as a guide, he wrote a web application that would take in the necessary information regarding gauge and armhole shaping to produce meaningful information about sleeve cap shaping. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The application can be found for free <a href="http://frenchroastdesign.com/armscye/" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Before we start, you need these figures:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">SC: starting stitch count</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">DC: desired stitch count</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">IC: the increase count, ie difference between SC and DC.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Note: if working flat, make sure you don't include your edge stitches in these counts. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Example numbers:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">SC = 56</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">DC = 78</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">IC = 22</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First, understand the problem. In most cases of course your starting stitch count won't divide neatly by your increase count and you'll be left with a possibly large remainder – the extra stitches left at the end of the row if you rounded down your increase interval to the next whole number. (For instance, 56/22 gives you a remainder of 12.) With sleeve shaping, I spread those extra rows out over the bottom of the sleeve, slightly lengthening the decrease intervals and reducing the slope of that portion. But this time, I don't particularly want to have all my extra stitches lopsidedly spread out on one side of a single row – I want them spread evenly across the row.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To achieve this, I plan to alternate between two different increase intervals (the basic interval, and that interval plus one of the "remainder" stitches). Ie, my pattern will have an instruction to repeat "m1, kA, m1, kB".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So let's get started.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Halve IC (HC) to find out how many increase repeats we need – how many times we'll work that "m1, kA, m1, kB" repeat. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Excel formula: =IC/2</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Example: 22/2=11</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Divide the starting count by this halved increase count. This gives you the number of total stitches in each increase repeat; call it total repeat, or TR. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Excel formula: =SC/HC</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Example: 56/11=5</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Within each of these repeats you need to increase two stitches. So halve TR and round up and down to get your higher and lower increase intervals (HI and LI), respectively – ie the number of whole stitches between increases. If TR is an even number, HI and LI will be equal.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Excel formulas: =ROUNDUP(TR/2,0) and =ROUNDDOWN(TR/2,0)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Note: the 0 means that we are rounding to zero decimal points.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Example: 2 and 3</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Time to see what's left over if we work this repeat along the row – the remainder (RM).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Excel formula: =MOD(SC/HC) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Example: 56/11 leaves a remainder of 1.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Stick this number at the very start of your row or round, and you're done! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Your pattern instructions will look like this (assuming a plain knit row):</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">K RM, (m1, LI, m1, HI) to end.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Example: K1, (m1, k2, m1, k3) to end.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Bonus tip: If you have a reasonably sized remainder, you could take a few of those stitches over to the end of your row, for better balance. It's not practical to include instructions for that in a multiple-sizes pattern, though. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
So, start out by casting on the number of stitches in your edge – you may want to use a provisional cast-on so you can graft or 3-needle bind-off later if you’ll be working in the round. In this example, my edge number is 6 stitches, and after casting on I knit one row, then purled one row to get started (these starting rows can change depending on pattern specifics), followed by my first increase row, so the beginning goes:<br />
<br />
Cast-on 6 stitches.<br />
Knit 1 row.<br />
Purl 1 row.<br />
Kfb, place marker, k to end.<br />
And now it looks like:<br />
