In my latest YouTube video titled “Nerdy knitting math: can I do this?”, I dive into the fascinating world of knitting with a twist of math! As a passionate knitter, I often find myself setting goals and deadlines for my projects, and this time, I challenged myself to complete a sock by September 1st. But can I really do it? Join me as I break down the nerdy math behind my knitting journey!

In the video, I share my progress on knitting my first sock for August and set an ambitious goal to finish the second sock in time. With only a few days left, I needed to figure out exactly how many rows I had to complete each day to meet my deadline.

I calculated that the total number of rows needed for the sock is 184, which I divided into specific sections: 20 rows for the cuff, 60 for the leg, 32 for the heel, 20 for the gusset, and 52 for the length of the foot. It’s amazing how breaking down a project into manageable parts can make it feel less daunting!

To keep track of my progress, I timed myself while knitting the cuff and discovered that it took me about four minutes per row. This means that to complete 23 rows, I would need approximately 92 minutes of knitting time. With my deadline approaching, I realized that I needed to dedicate about an hour and a half each day to finish the second sock on time.

This video not only highlights the importance of planning and math in achieving knitting goals but also showcases the blend of creativity and analytical thinking that comes with the craft. If you’re curious to see if I can meet my deadline, be sure to watch the video!
