Ancient Pathways

This Sunday, May 11 is your chance to relax and knit all day. To enable this we would like to remind your family that Ancient Pathways has Gift Certificates and all the yarn you need to keep yourself in the knitting style you have become accustomed to. Just have your family call us at 559-264-1874 and purchase a Gift Certificate over the phone. They don’t even need to spend the gas money to come in; we will keep the Gift Certificate on file for you.

On the silly side we have a new Rip It Equation
Or, how to know if you should rip or not.

First, rate each of the following areas on a scale of 1-5.
A. How easy is the pattern? Hard is 1 and Easy is 5.
B. How significant is the person you are giving it to? Not significant is 1 and very significant is 5.
C. How obvious is the mistake? Not obvious is 1 and very obvious is 5.
D. How close is the error to the needles? Many rows back is 1 and most recent row is 5.

Add A+B+C+D = _______
This is your Rip It number. Compare this number to the scale to find out what you should do.

The Rip It Scale
1-5 = Leave it.
6 = Stop obsessing, just keep knitting. Don't ask anyone else.
7-9 = Knit 2 more inches and then recalculate.
10 = Flip a coin: Heads is rip and tails is leave it.
11-13 = Knit two more rows and then recalculate.
14 = I can't believe you did this equation. Just Rip It!
15-20 = Rip it out.

Disclaimer:
This is totally tongue in cheek. Use it at your own risk.

Happy Mother’s Day!
