Again?

Once again I have a yarn shortage. Eight 50g balls should have been enough for a cardigan, but cables are a yarn hog. I’m going to end up 20g-25g short. Once again I’ll have a sweater sitting there nearly finished while I wait to need something else. Fortunately I have all the materials for two more sweaters, one of which is a modern pattern so I really ought to have the right amount of yarn for it.

I love old knitting patterns, but figuring out how much yarn you need is a trick.
