Does anyone have a link or chart or handy-dandy thingy that can give me a very general range of how many yards of yarn I'd need for various products. I've got NO idea or intuition for measurement and when I look at yarn/prices I never know how many balls of a yarn I'd need to make "something."
So I'm looking for some loose guidelines. Like say--about how many yards/grams of worsted weight would I need for oh... a plainish size M longsleeve sweater? How about bulky? sport? How about a tank top? fingering weight socks?
There is no right way to knit; there is no wrong way to knit. So if anybody kindly tells you that what you are doing is "wrong," don't take umbrage; they mean well. Smile submissively, and listen, keeping your disagreement on an entirely mental level. They may be right, in this particular case, and even if not, they may drop off pieces of information which will come in very handy if you file them away carefully in your brain for future reference. ~Elizabeth Zimmerman
