It was a rainy Spring day, and I went to the exhibit with a large umbrella, I walked several blocks from the parking garage to the Museum. I was surprised at the exhibit. They gave it so much publicity, and it did not have much to it. I did enjoy seeing some old stone artifacts, and the video presentations, but all in all, I was expecting to see more. They had publicity lines like the cradle of Christian civilization... Sarah, I went to this same travelling exhibit last year when it apppeared at the Ft Lauderdale Art Museum.

I was about to suggest some mad, crazy, knit-math to figure out if you were going to have enough yarn, but Ellen saved you! Good thing I read the comments first.

May the force be with you. That would be very bad….but I can understand the impulse to use every bit of that yarn that you can. May the force be with you.

With it being a ruffle, would the '3x the length of the row' calculation work to figure it out? I have no idea on that; I've always thought that'd work best for plain knitting. And really appreciate the photos. I'm a historical and archaeological nut. ;) Union Station looks fantastic. (Are half the stations in the US named 'Union'? Portland's is too, LOL.) They did a great job restoring it, and I love the Harvey's Diner pic. Great that you got to see an exhibit like the Dead Sea Scrolls! This is like a very slooow mystery - will you or won’t you?
