(You're right... i don't know how to knit:)create a row OR some fixed, smallish, measureable amount of that typical stitch or pattern mark end of yarn at that point. rip it out & measure it. then redo it & estimate up or down as you increase or decrease that Cheryl Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963883560460789918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695040220881913062.post-36676595417477485742008-04-26T00:31:00.000-07:002008-04-26T00:31:00.000-07:00Anandi, whenever life calms down a bit, I'm going ...Anandi, whenever life calms down a bit, I'm going to start using an Excel pkg I just bought, customized for jewelry artisans!

My issue is that I can never really tell just how much yarn I've used for something, unless I make it, unravel it, measure the yarn, and then remake it (which is sure to change how much yarn was used). I end up guestimating a lot. :)Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319784596392058242noreply@blogger.com
