hereami --thanks for sharing the yardage calculator. That would be so handy to use, especially since I spin yarn and sometimes wonder how much I need to make a sweater or some project. Gonna' bookmark this one!

hereami thanks much for this link - I will find this tool to be very helpful. I don’t know of a cheat sheet like this for crochet, but I will keep my eyes open for something similar.

So glad you both like it. I printed off the copies and put it into my shawl binder. (so I wouldn't have to try to find it later.)
I've just published a blog post that shows a cheap and easy way to film yourself crafting. This would be useful if you're taking an online class from a craft teacher, such as learning to knit or crochet. I show how to use a repurposed, plastic peanut jar, some thin cardboard, clear packing tape, and a few magnets to make a tripod for your smart phone camera.
This is a really nice online charting program I have used a lot https://www.stitchfiddle.com/en
There is a free version with all the basics and a paid version with more features.
Sommerfugl This is the first time I have ever played with a chart program. I love this. I am going to make sure to save this link. Thank you so much for posting it here.
This is a free yarn calculator. I needed to know a ball park number for the amount of yards in my inherited 2 ounce skeins of wool. Turns out I have roughly 227 yards of yarn. Knowing this will help me decide what to make out of it.
Hope it helps someone else out there.
My wool came in 4 hanks. Visually it seemed like a lot of yarn. Apparently I need more experience with yarn of this texture and fiber.
So having this tool will help me tremendously.
