Well, spoiler alert… Ranunculus fits just fine. This was not at all a guarantee, despite the rather ridiculous number of times that I checked before binding off and going back to do the neck. I felt compelled to pop back and tell you all how it was fitting, not just because I mentioned that I was worried it was going to be too short, but because the very last picture I posted of it on instagram looked like this.
Let’s back up to how I got there – which I admit was a very dramatic moment – one where I went to pull a finished sweater over my head and lo, it did not go. On the upside, I did stop worrying about the length for a while. Here’s what happened. I told you all in the last post that since I changed the gauge on this sweater (I went down a needle size or so to make a fabric I like better. What the heck, it’s my sweater.) That meant though, that I wasn’t at all sure how many I wanted to cast on for a top down sweater, so I skipped it. I cast on provisionally after the neck, and just started working the sweater. When I was done, I came back, picked up all the stitches, and worked the neckband.
Here’s the thing though. Did I do any figuring? Did I follow up on my original thought and have a little chat with my inner knitter about how I was worried it would be too small because I went down a needle size, and perhaps reflect upon how none of that had changed? Yeah verily, did I look upon the knitting and think “Well Stephanie, this is exactly the moment one knits a swatch for” and having though that, picked up the swatch that I did indeed knit, and count how many stitches it would take to go around my noggin? Did I?
No, gentle knitter, I did not. Even though the swatch sat nearby, even though (sort of unbelievably) I had a tape measure nearby… nope. I just took a look at that neckline and decided to just smash the question with the weight of my experience and thought “Looks right.” and just went for it. It was not right. (See above.)
Anyway, obviously I ripped back the cast on, and all the ribbing, and then I did the math and NOW this sweater both goes over my head and …
It is the right length. I knew it.
Sweater: Ranunculus, Yarn; (Cottage Fingering, 50% Merino, 20% Linen, 15% Silk, 15% Cotton) Modifications, changed the gauge, provisional neckline, fewer stitches for the neckband itself – oh, and I only did the short rows in the back, and I made them wider. It fits me better that way.
For now, I’m off to bed. Jen and I are going on a training ride in the morning, and I have to get up at 5:30am to make it happen, and that is not a thing that is really in my wheelhouse without getting to bed early. If I survive, I’ll pop back and tell you a story about some socks.
(PS. If you wanted to sponsor me or Jen tomorrow to encourage two rather old soft women to ride like the wind, you can do it by clicking on our names. We start to ride at 7, and can use whatever encouragement you can offer. )
Have a great ride!
It’s perfect! (Why do we avoid doing the stuff that only takes a few minutes and would make our lives so much easier?)
This question is evergreen and doesn’t just apply to knitting (at least in my life.)
Amen, sister!
For me it is: I just wanna knit knit knit – don’t ask me to stop and measure, or think. I mean really, what’s the fun in that?!? It did turn our beautifully and looks good on you.
It looks great, but I hope you kept notes in case you decide you need this sweater in additional colors. Then again, you’ll probably decide to use bulky weight yarn and we’ll be treated to additional episodes of “It’s too short/long” and “The neckline is too small/loose”…. (PS: Ride like the wind!)
On Instagram you say, “Well, this might be my first Ranunculus, but I’m pretty sure it’s not my last!”
I will absolutely lose my voice from howling with laughter if you make another one a few years from now and the same thing happens.
Your inner knitter is pretty much the most entertaining thing on earth.
Looks amazing on you! Your Inner Knitter knows her stuff!!!
It’s beautiful! And yay that it came out how you wanted it, even if it required a bit of persuasion at the end.
Fun to have knitting project updates again! p.s. I have mostly stopped using Instagram. BLOGS (well, newsletters, at least) ARE BACK.
Oh, that turned out BEAUTIFULLY! Love it!
Looks gorgeous! As do you – not a day older than when I fist discovered the blog over 10 years ago …. how do you do it?? All that cycling, no doubt! Ride well and safely.
And she lifts weights at the gym! But what impressed me most on the athletic front was learning to ski as an adult!
Go Stephanie!
We’re wishing you well on your Rally training!
I love how your sweater turned out and how it looks on you,
You don’t have to ride like the wind: a nice breeze will be just fine,
It looks great on you. Are you going to become a Ranunculus Addict? Someone who knits a bazillion of these in various yarns with different sleeve lengths? If so, good luck. I’ll watch from the sidelines. I knit *one*. That’s it: *one*. Maybe it was the yarn (BC Garn Bio Shetland GOTS in navy, which was what was used in the shop sample I saw in Edmonton at the time I fell for it) — but I think not. I didn’t enjoy the process *at all*. Oh yeah; it fits. It even looks decent. Right length too (and yes; I made mine longer than called for). But…well *pour moi*, it wasn’t fun to knit. I was never sure I got the hang of the yoke pattern. C’est la vie! I wear it — sometimes — but…I’m leaving it at that!

Stephanie’s Ranunculus sweater saga (July 3, 2025) is a witty lesson in why math matters in creative work. Her instinct-driven neckline flop—ignoring the swatch only to rip back and recalculate—echoes the precision needed in tools like WigglyPaint, where playful doodles rely on exact pixel tweaks. It’s a reminder: math isn’t art’s foe but its ally, ensuring the perfect fit or vibe. Still, her “looks right” gamble feels relatable—don’t we all skip the math sometimes, only to learn the hard way?
Math really saved the day! Skipping calculations in knitting felt like playing Google Snake – one wrong move and you’re in a bind. I, like the author, sometimes avoid the numbers, leading to unexpected outcomes. Glad they figured it out; it reminds us that a little planning goes a long way, whether in knitting or life!
Glad the Ranunculus fit worked out! I know the tension struggle, especially around the neck. Checking repeatedly is a knitter’s rite of passage! It reminds me of the stress before shouting Uno Online Maybe blocking could add a bit more length if needed? Thanks for sharing your experience!
The sweater is gorgeous–love the color and pattern together. As always, I appreciate the knitting inspiration!
(Separately, the AI-composed comments with ad links are…bizarre.)
Honestly, I can totally relate to this impulsive knitting decision! We’ve all been there, haven’t we, relying on gut feeling instead of actual measurements. The urge to just dive in and see what happens is strong, especially when dealing with familiar projects. But sometimes, as the article so hilariously illustrates, that intuition leads to unexpected results. A quick swatch could have saved the day! Maybe next time, I’ll remember this when crafting my own pako highway.

Wow—what a journey from math anxiety to the perfect fit! This post shows how numbers can shape creativity in the most unexpected ways. Just like the Honey Don’t! Margaret Qualley Striped Shirt, it grabs attention with style while proving that details truly make the difference.
Loved how tweaking the needle size and doing the math saved your sweater from unexpected proportions—proof that math isn’t just theory, it’s knitting survival gear.
Glad to hear Ranunculus fits perfectly! Sometimes, all those calculations feel like prepping for a challenging Snow Rider 3D level, constantly recalculating your trajectory. You know, the feeling of endlessly adjusting and tweaking things until you nail that perfect landing. It’s satisfying when all the planning pays off, just like mastering a difficult trick in the game.
So relatable—the swatch, the math, and then the surprise when the Ranunculus still fits perfectly!
That moment when you “just guessed” instead of doing the math—and had to rip back—is something we all know too well! Your sweater’s happy ending shows why sometimes the math really is worth it. Feels a bit like picking bold, unapologetic style—kind of like slipping into Dumb and Dumber Suits and making sure it all actually fits.

I really enjoyed your reflection on how skipping the numbers in favour of intuition sometimes works until it doesn’t! Your story about changing the needle size and then needing to redo the neckline on the Ranunculus resonated with me I’ve been there with other tasks as well. While reading this I also remembered that as drivers in the UAE, it’s just as wise to check for any pending fines rather than assume everything’s okay.

Skipping math is why I prefer Ragdoll Hit over knitting!
This post reminds me how even experienced makers can skip the crucial step of testing their assumptions. I had a similar moment when my knitting gauge was off, but now I always double-check with a quick mouse test to see if my hands are steady enough for fine work. Stephanie’s honesty about ripping back feels refreshing—it’s the small measurements that save the biggest headaches.
The part where you admit you totally ignored your swatch and just went by ‘feel’ is so relatable when you get deep into a project! It makes me wonder how much of knitting—or any creative pursuit—is genuinely about the numbers versus just trusting that gut feeling, like when I’m out for a long bike ride; sometimes you just have to trust your instincts on the road. Maybe thinking about gear ratios or optimal tire pressure is more like doing a quick check against what’s reliable, something I often look at when planning routes via traffic rider.
It’s funny how much faith we put in “just looking at it” when we should probably be doing some actual measuring! I always find myself second-guessing if a pattern instruction feels right without double-checking the math, especially with gauge changes throwing everything off. It reminds me of when I was trying to picture how something might look before creating it; sometimes you need a reference point like using an aiimagetoimage generator just to get a visual idea of scale. Are there any specific techniques you use now that help keep your initial measurements grounded so you don’t have those moments where the sweater just refuses to go over your head?

This post made me think about how much quiet math woven into daily life goes unnoticed, kind of like the math in knitting. Counting stitches, checking gauge, figuring out how many rows until a decrease, it all adds up before you realize you were doing arithmetic the whole time. I noticed the same thing with the little games I play on breaks. Even a simple driving game has you constantly estimating distance and timing without calling it math. Funny how the subjects we thought we left behind in school keep following us around in the most useful ways.
This post made me laugh because it’s so true – knitters do math constantly without ever calling it math. Gauge, ease, stitch counts, dividing sleeves evenly, reworking a pattern for a different yarn weight… it’s algebra and geometry hiding in plain sight. I keep a notebook just for knitting calculations, half scribbles half equations. Lately I’ve been doing the math for a big project while also running around a lot, and a site like Orbit Kick (https://orbitkick.net) has been handy for sneaky-sneaker research between rows. Anyway, off to recount my stitches – again.

The bit about having the swatch right there and still deciding to “smash the question with the weight of my experience” is painfully relatable. It’s funny how often the math feels optional until the sweater refuses to go over your head, and then suddenly it’s the only thing that matters. Provisional cast-on and reworking the neckband sounds like the unglamorous but effective fix.
The part about ignoring the swatch right next to you made me laugh. I do the same thing with gauge math and then act surprised. The finished sweater looks great on you.Sudoku Agora
