The M

Now that I started Marcus sweater, it was time to sit down and sort out his 'M'.  He wanted it to go all the way from the top to the bottom.  Giant was the word he used.  Grandma wanted it to look nice.  They are competing desires in a way.  Still it is what he wants and I have the power to do it.

I pulled out the knitting graph paper and started playing around. 

The first try was not quite giant.  I like the shape and the scale of it, so I tried again.  This time I calculated the stitches in a more mathy way and came up with this.

It looks just about right.  Proof will be in the knitting.
