Olympic Knitting Update: Pass the Smelling Salts
Knitting that is this monotonous really gives a person time to think.

Just out of curiousity, I wonder how many stitches there are in that mile of stockinette?

Just out of curiousity, I wonder how many stitches there are in that mile of stockinette?Let's see:
Approximately 320 stitches per round.
Times
Approximately 115 rounds so far. (No I didn't stop to count, I just know that there are 8 rounds between increases and decreases and a little extra for the waist and ribbing)
Equals (drum roll please): 36,800 stitches.
That's really all I have to say right now. I think I need to go lie down.
p.s. I held the sweater up last night and asked Dave to guess how many stitches. He said 2,400. Hah! Amateur!

Dave - poor showing dude- really?
you are a freaking goddess
Knitting math!!!! AHHHHHHHHH
Go, GO, GO!
You've almost finished the boring bit! I love that "pattern" and the color choices you've made.
Don't count the stitches - count the therapeutic effect!
I often depress myself by calculating the number of stitches in any given project.
I am careful to do it after I am finished, though, because otherwise the daunting number of stitches might scare me away from finishing the project!
Those miles of purple are mighty pretty!
