Mass Increases or Decreases Across a Row or Round // Technique Tuesday

[@carolmelancon]

In addition to your excellent teaching, I GREATLY appreciate the time you put into editing, making Chapters, and organizing your videos into playlists. Being able to actually find the content I need is so helpful.

Thanks! I've always done math for this, and it hadn't occurred to me to use stitch markers so I don't have to count and recount as I go. Also love the idea of just "eyeballing" it for smaller numbers of increases or decreases.

Thank you for your tips on this subject. I’m not mathematically challenged but there are times that I don’t want to think very much. As I knit more projects close enough but consistent works out fine.

Thank you, Roxanne for sharing your tips!! ❤

Hi Roxanne. Great video. Thanks for the wonderful tips!

Another way that I use is divide both numbers to the smallest number possible using a common divider e.g 100/4 =25 and 8/4=2 . I just put markers every 25 stitches and then increase by 2 stitches I. e. 25 stitches now become 27 stitches

I knit a shawl (Stillness) that had increase rows like this! And it occurred when transitioning to another color. The shape of the top down shawl was like a half circle.

What is the Untitled Notebook screen that you are writing on? What program is this you are using?

[@RoxanneRichardson]

It's Goodnotes

Thank you for trying to help, though i can't help thinking that a good pattern writer could work this out and put it in the pattern, thereby meaning that hundreds or thousands of knitters are mot having to try to do the maths.

[@RoxanneRichardson]

Not everyone is knitting from a pattern! :-) When they are, if the number of sts needed to increase or decrease does not divide evenly, and the pattern is for multiple sizes, the wall of text needed to write out inexact inc/dec distribution for multiple sizes might might hinder more than help. The goal of a pattern is to give the knitter the information they need to complete the project. If it's not imperative that an inc/dec be placed in a very specific spot, a knitter may not know that's it's okay *not* to place them in those specific spots, and end up tinking back many many sts in order to "correct" their mistake of a mis-placed inc/dec. It's only been in recent years that patterns have become dozens of pages long, providing endless hand holding. There are 150+ years of patterns that still exist that are concise and to the point, and which many knitters still use.

Thank you! I'm not mathematically challenged, but for some reason "increase evenly across row" NEVER works out for me. I will do it your way next time!
