I started to crochet a wrap/scarf using a patternThe pattern called for quot;6 oz/170 g, 315 yards/288 mquot; of yarnI had 2 skeins with ~210 yards each and I still ran out of yarn! Could anyone tell me what the problem is? For now I guess I'll undo a couple of rows and buy quot;extraquot; yarn next time.
Fruits, vegetables and grainsI suggest looking online for a food pyramidSimply eat the recommended amounts that the food pyramid suggests and you'll get a TON of fiber in your diet Meat, dairy and eggs should not be a prominent portion on your plateHumans do not need that much proteinOnly about 10-30% of all daily calories should come from proteinAnd, you can find protein in rice and legumes (which also contain a ton of fiber)There is enough protein in a 6 oz chicken breast to provide a healthy adult with enough protein for one day.
Whole wheat bread instead of white bread for breakfast toast and sandwiches for lunch or dinner.
When you say I checked the gauge and it was the same, do you mean that you crocheted a gauge swatch and made sure that YOU got the same gauge as the pattern you were using? That's the only way you can be sure to come close to the pattern dimensions and the pattern requirements-you have to duplicate the gauge that the test crocheter gotThe brand doesn't make much difference in the yardage used and the fiber doesn't make a huge amount of difference in the yardage usedWhat makes a big difference is the size of the yarn and the gauge of the crocheterWhen you're switching to a completely different fiber, it's even more important to make a gauge swatch to estimate the amount of material you will need to buyIn that case, in addition to getting the stitch and row count of your pattern, you'll want to measure the overall dimension of the swatch and determine its weight and the number of yards or meters of yarn it took to makeOne way to measure the yarn is with the gadget that's used to measure the line on a fishing reel-you can get them in sporting-goods stores such as Dick's or in the fishing-supplies department at WalmartOne way is to measure out a length-3 yards, 5 yards-and put a marker, then put a marker every that many yards until you have enough marked yarn to crochet your swatchThen you can compare the dimensions with the dimensions of your pattern, the weight of yarn used with the weight used in your pattern, and the yardage/meterage with what the pattern usedThen you can calculate how much yarn you need to duplicate the project using a completely different yarn.
