Called It

I did run out of yarn before it was wide enough to fit around my head.  It was looking close, and I really waited until the last row, but it was definitely too narrow.

So I ripped out again, and recalculated the new width, to have the proper length.  Thank God my six grader was there, because rather than just continuing to do trial and error, he suggested the formula.  Since I had the total area that the yarn would create in that needle size, all I had to do was find the new width and length that would equal the same area.  Brilliant!!

So, I am still working on the same cowl, for the third (and hopefully, final) time.

Today, it is a question of whether I am smarter than a sixth grader.
