Question:

Trying to figure out how much yarn I need.?

to make an adult blanketI want to use a super bulky yarn (lions brand home town) and a medium yarn togetherThe pattern would be: row 1- knit one, purl one until end of rowRow 2- purl one, knit one until end of rowRepeat rows one and two until desired length.Oh, and I will probably use size 19 needles.or do I need circular needles? Do you use circular the same way? Never tried them.Any help would be great.

Answer:

The best thing to do is to consult a doctorOr go to a pharmacy and ask for medicine to relieve constipationFor now, you should drink lots of water asap.
NoI live in the Bible Belt and I am sick of evangelistsI get more than just LDS and JWs hereChristian Capitalism has every bi-polar nut of Ulster descent starting their own free will church with a name 14 words longI simply point to the sign on my door saying WARNING: Protected By An Atheist and tell them to read it out loudA few times I have told them you must be pretty stupid if you knocked on my door after reading that clearly displayed sign.
That is not something any one can answer with any correctness, since all fibres weigh differentlySo what you need to do is knit a little bit of it, and measure how much area you can cover with a known length (or weight) of yarn you haveThen determine how much the total area will be, divide by your sample area, and that will tell you how much more you need for the full blanketSee, there was a reason we had to learn all that algebra in high school! OMG!! Size 19? Those are humongous! I don't think I've ever used such gigantic broomsticks beforeWell, something new to learnBut what size of yarn will you use? Remember that the needle size must be related to the yarn thicknessYou can't just use any yarn with that size needle! I most definitely would use circular needlesBut then, I use circs for all of my knitting, from afghans and sweaters to fingers of glovesThey are the most versatile of allYou really can't work on a blanket comfortably with straightsAnd a needle is a pointy stickIt really doesn't matter what is on the other end!! They are ALL used exactly the same way Really! Wasn't that all explained to you at your basic beginner's knitting class? When you have any knitting or crochet question, you should take your work to your LYS and ask there - that is what they are for!
