Counter-intuitive maths for pessimists

In my Kauni cardigan, there are 381 stitches per row.

I have knitted 10 rows.

I have, really. Here is some very crudely-diagrammed proof:

I hope that's now clear, irrefutable fact. I knitted 10 rows.

381 x 10 = 3,810 stitches.

Want to check my working? It is, promise! I even checked it with a calculator in case there was something wrong with my brain (apart from the usual, that is).

I have knitted three thousand, eight hundred and ten stitches.

So.... WHY doesn't it look any bigger?

Somebody still likes it though. :-)
