}

.aside {

// If you don’t want to maintain markup order in CSS, simply add the place on the grid where the element begins.
.article {
	@include grid(6, 1); // 6 columns wide, starts on the first column
}

.aside {
	@include grid(6, 7); // 6 columns wide, starts on the seventh column.
}

// In RWD, simply add media queries, no breakpoints are set.
@media all and (min-width: 20em) {
	.article {
		@include grid(6);
	}
	.aside {
		@include grid(6);
	}
}

VERY rough but a work in progress.

Functionality is pretty much done! Some re-factoring could be done but just include the grid mixin and everything is taken care of.

This looks awesome and I want to help. I started kicking this around tonight, and ran into a couple things. First, it looks like the $grid-mixin-counter is falling apart when I start nesting elements.

.article-1
  +grid(6)

.article-2
  +grid(4)
  .sub-thing-1
    +grid(6)
  .sub-thing-2
    +grid(6)

.aside
  +grid(2)

.article-2, .article-2 .sub-thing-1, .aside {
  margin-left: 2%;
  float: left;
}

/* SITE-WIDE DESIGN -------------------------------------------------------------- */
.article-1 {
  width: 49%;
  float: left;
}

.article-2 {
  width: 32%;
}
.article-2 .sub-thing-1 {
  width: 49%;
}
.article-2 .sub-thing-2 {
  width: 49%;
  float: left;
}

.aside {
  width: 15%;
} 

I also get weird results when I switch it to 'scale' mode. I'm not sure what success looks like with this option tho.

Cool, I just added you as a collaborator. The current branch is actually in the gh-pages-beta branch because it is easier for me to work on something more real. https://github.com/scottkellum/Singularity/tree/gh-pages-beta I found a few more bugs in the scale grid as well, I need to subtract the result from the previous result to always reach 100% and test it with different scales. Grids will look dramatically different here because the columns can get crunched way down. Because of this weird scaling, this is a more normal use case (actually people should use fewer 4 or 5 col grid) - article +grid(2) aside +grid(10) Where the article is still bigger because it is up the scale. As elements get smaller than the padding things start to get bad, maybe we can @warn for that. Excited to see what you do with this. The goal is to make an OOSass framework that is extremely flexible and easy to use. Because it is OOSass it should generate an incredibly small CSS file.
