    I forgot to add on my message that also mentioned weighing, is that
    at the end of the project you can weigh the completed project to
    know how many grams were used.<br>

            way to be pretty accurate is to go by weight.  If you have a
            kitchen scale that measures in grams, weigh the ball when
            you get it and write down the weight.  Then weigh it again
            when you\u2019ve finished the project and write down that
            weight.  The difference is how much yarn you used.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
