[Nfb-krafters-korner] Converting inches to Centimeters & vice versa....

[Eileen Scrivani]

Since the question about converting knitting needle sizes came up, I thought it might be helpful to those interested in working patterns from England, Canada or wherever to know that www.google.com can automatically convert measurements for you as a part of its calculator function.  

For example, if you type in the search box:

4 in to cm (then press enter)
it will display the result of converting 4 inches into 10.16 centimeters.  
Likewise, if you type:
92 cm to in
it will convert 92 centimeters into inches for you. 

If you have trouble finding the result of your conversion, just use Jaws search feature to find calculator and the result will be right above that word.  There are more advanced calculations you can do with the Google calculator, but the conversion feature is very useful for knitters & crocheters.
