Designing a sweater

I’ve just started working on a new cardigan design. Since I’m making it for fun and it’s not under any kind of publication embargo, I thought I’d share some details about the process. You can follow along here.

That’s a lot

So, I was looking at Ravelry this morning, and discovered that there are over 20,000 pairs of Fetching fingerless gloves out there.

Normally I’m not inspired to do math before coffee, but . . . if you took all those gloves and laid them end to end, they would stretch for 6.64 km (4.12 miles). That’s taller than Mt. McKinley in Alaska, which is the highest peak in North America.

And if you added in all the Dashing mitts on top, we would be taller than Mt. Everest–the tallest peak in the world!

What do you think of that?
