Thanks Jen. Can you tell me again please, how to measure when you are at the end of a ball of yarn,how to measure how far the last of the yarn will go ?
Good question! I’ll put together a table of how to estimate how much you need for a cast on, cast off and full row. I’ll try to get this out next week.
