how much have you knit this month?

If you have noticed the little knitmeter on the sidebars of my blog, you will notice that it takes in accounts to what i've knitted this month. I find that since i don't have a weight scale that it's just easier for me to log in the yardage (or meter) when I am at the end of the ball. The yardage is already listed in the ball band, I simply have to copy down the number. this is simply the easiest way to keep track.

So what do i do when I'm NOT at the end of the ball, but I've finished a project? well if it's just a little, I guestimate, but if it's real cruial to actual yardage, then I break out the meauring tape and measure what I have left.

I've also gone as far as measure out the estimated length per row and have done it that way... but that was in the beginning when I didn't know any better.

trust me, just go with the ball band yardage, much easier and much faster... i figure i knit so much anyway that it's not a shame if I lose a few yards here or there.

I mean it's a fun widget anyway, not like there's this knitting police if you fudge your numbers.
