Grading the Lucky Baby Lopapeysa

The other night I went down a rabbit hole of sweater-grading math, and now I have a bunch of columns of mysterious numbers. There was some serious figgery-pokery going on (that's like jiggery-pokery, only with numbers): this is the math I would have to do to get the numbers I already have, so if I apply that math to these other numbers, hey presto! A knitting pattern that may or may not work, in five sizes in addition to the one I already have (what sizes? According to the Craft Yarn Council's chart, an improbable assortment indeed).

This would seem to be the time to call for test-knitters, but I'm hesitating. I should figure out the numbers for a raglan variant before I do that, and then I would have to commit to being able to answer questions over the next few weeks, and hey, it's early spring. My goldfish attention-span is way worse at this time of year and I could wander off at any minute. Maybe I should just test-knit all eleven sweaters myself to avoid having to deal with other people.

Yeah, because that requires less attention-span? Sigh, no: Because it carries less potential for disappointing people.

Ohhh did you mention test knitters? I'm in! Whenever you're ready that is. So many babies chez SnBU that need woolly goodness.

Yes! But with the five-hour baby sweater test-knit I felt I didn't do as well as I could have, and this is a little more complicated. However, when the time comes, I will ask you first. <3

It looks do-able. And smol is quick, not?

Some smol, some not so smol. I have done a size 50 in 11 days (over Christmas when I had lots of time), but as you see from the size chart, um. I may have gotten carried away playing with numbers.
