yarn use

[jwgh]

Not too long ago I ordered seven 400-yard skeins of denim yarn for cheap. Then they arrived and I had to figure out what to do with them. Finally I decided that knitting a small blanket (using a Debbie Bliss Pattern) would get rid of a decent chunk of it and would leave me with something nice and useful, to whit: a small blanket.

A couple of weeks later I've been knitting up a storm, although there is still plenty left to do. But it only occurred to me this morning that I could get an idea of how much of the skein I'd used by comparing it to one of the other skeins.

I thought that three and a half would be about enough for one of these blankets, but now I'm not so sure -- I've done about 60 rows and the pattern calls for 379 rows, so I'm only a little less than a sixth done. I'll have to see how many more rows I get out of this first skein.
