I'm having a brain-fart and can't THINK (knitting) {help me}
Du-uh... I'm having one of *those* days... I'm trying to figure out
something and the brain is playing hide-and-seek... and it makes me MAD because it's something SIMPLE, and it makes me feel DUMB! Call for Help! How in the heck do I do a mitered shawl? I want it triangular, but I also don't want the long top edge to be straight, I'd like it to continue the miter... (think ripple afghan, but only ONE ripple) Man, do I feel like a moron! Help!

Or, for a bat-wing effect, cast on four and increase every other
stitch the first time, then increase after the first stitch, either side of the center stitch, and before the last stitch. This would be every four row, methinks.

(think ripple afghan, but only ONE ripple) Ripple afghan but only one ripple - wouldn't that be more of a V shape? either: vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvvvv vvv v or: v v vv vv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvvvv vvv v I think it would start like those washcloths done from one corner up: cast on one stitch, increase to three, increase one each side to five, except after a while you bind off one in the middle and start a second ball of yarn. Or for the mitered method, you cast on the whole length, then you decrease two in the middle and increase one on each end at the same time. =Tamar

Noreen I have never made a shawl but I would think one cast on two or three
stitches and increase each end untill the required size is reached. God Bless Gwen -- Gwen Kelly "Noreen's Knit*che" wrote in message .. . Du-uh... I'm having one of *those* days...
