I've gotta agree with Mic Dee. I make "vegan" bread all the time and it comes out looking much more attractive with a lovely crust.

Thank you for the explanation, that makes a lot more sense and I certainly see the appeal of having such a tool.

The "math is scary" sentiment seems to run a little too strongly sometimes, especially considering that playing with the numbers can often give a deeper understanding of pattern construction. But then, I like knitting as brain exercise as well as relaxation which I know isn't how everyone approaches it.

I'll be keeping an eye on this. I'm excited to see how it could be adopted and used for everybody's benefit.

I think I'd rather just read a chart. And I like doing the math myself for size changes and complex increase/decrease instructions. Though I agree that having uniform terminology would be great.

For once, I am a luddite.
