bad habits
This is the second time that I have had to stop the knitting to spin up more yarn for this project! I really should learn to check my yardage before I start a pattern....
I'm glad that you like the lace. It is an easy scarf pattern from Spindlicity. You can read more about it, and follow the link from a previous post I did about it...
Thank you, Cyndy for the link! I know just the yarn for this pattern. It is an angora blend that a friend sells...just not sure if I have enough! The pattern calls for 4 oz of fleece spun to worsted weight...do you have any idea how much yardage that is? Thanks, again! Kate

I can't see any "bad habits" in this photo!
Oooh! Your lace is beautiful! Your spun yarn, too! What is the pattern you are using? Is it a scarf or a shawl?
Hi Kate,

You are welcome!
Average worsted weight runs about 50 yards per ounce....your mileage may vary ;-)
Sorry that I didn't keep better track and measure what I have been doing, like I say, bad habits!
