:lol I did those while working. So phone calls kept interrupting. Don't they know I have saltines to do? Plus my hands got sore. So I switched to putting my section together and I got one done! :clap

Michele ~ How are you coming along with your IC?

Well, I am up to 47 Saltines.. But I am confused. They all the from the same skein of yarn and I still have alot left. They are the 2 rounds and I have been leaving long end tails so can use them to sew them together. they are measuring about 2.5 inches and I am using a "G" hook. I am curious as to how many I will end up getting out of one skein.????

RHSS 7 oz....

I love ready this board. I check it SEVERAL times a day to see what is going in.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Happy Sunday, everyone.

Val ~ 19 squares added! You're off to a great start. :cheer

Hi Michele! Not to worry. Each skein comes out differently for me, too. I just finished a RHSS skein of Aran and made 61 squares...the one before that was about 50. :think (I leave about a 10" tail to join to the next square. )

You can expect to get between 48 and 60 squares from one 7 oz RHSS skein. I use the number 48 to calculate yarn needed. That seemed safest to me :lol

A word of advice: don't let the pile of unattached squares grow too huge before you start joining them together:P

Oh yes, definitely don't do that :lol I did that with the very first one (Blackford's Beauty) and man did I regret it :lol

What if I do one skein of each color then start attaching?? I am glad you said something because waiting was what I planned on doing.. Everyone had the best advise!!

Michele

depends on the pattern, IMO. If you are only using two colors it should work up fast, if not, I would make saltines of each color you need, attach them until you've almost used up your pile, then crochet again.
