Thanks. That is the one thing I hate. My guessimating is always a
little off. But, I will give it a go. Oh one more question. has anyone
ever tried making scarves or bags using mitered squares?

I would think a bag would be easy as you just make a square. You could
make small squares and sew together for a scarf, or pick up sts along
one side of the first one, cast on the same number of sts to make the
next square, and keep going.

I hate doing swatches. And, I am trying to figure how you come with
the right amount of stitches for an 8" mitered square. How are you
able to calculate that? Portia, Southern California
The only way you can calculate that is to know your sts/inch, and the
only way to know that is.... knit a sample.
