Enough Yarn?

This is a funny tip and really it only is relevant if you’re playing yarn chicken.

Yarn Chicken is when you perhaps only have three or so rows left to work, and you are unsure if you have enough yarn to complete.

I think this happen a lot in tea cosy knitting because for most people I think they make their tea cosies from yarn that is already in their yarn stash.

The tip is that there is a way to guestimate if you will have enough yarn. Spread out the stiches on the needle, and measure the yarn out against the stitches 3 times. This is enough yarn to complete one row. From this you can figure out if you have enough yarn to complete those last few rows or not.
