Bell Ruffle

I started the ruffle on the Handsome Triangle shawl yesterday, and got just a few rows accomplished.

Handsome Triangle shawl 

Here’s a little detail:

The specs: 

A total of 86 x 6 = 516 + 5 = 520 stitches around the bottom edge. 

Then, as with all ruffles, you increase like a demon over the next 24 rows, ending with a grand total of 86 x 28 = 2408 + 5 = 2413 stitches.

Excuse me while I go lie down a little while.

    Sure does give “just one more row” a new perspective, doesn’t it?
