MEASUREMENTS & YARN USAGE
Round 4: Measures 4 3/4" unblocked. Weighs 18 grams.
Round 11: Measures 10 3/4" unblocked. Weighs 112 grams. *This is 5% of my total yarn used. To determine approximately how much yarn you will need, weigh your project at this point. Take the number of yards you have used so far & divide it by .05 or 5%.  This answer will give you approximately how much yarn you will need to complete your project.*
Round 16: I did this whole round incorrectly.  I guess I'm used to Grace having you crochet around 2 stitches at the same time.  So I read the directions as BPSC around the first 2 stitches.  When you are supposed to individually BPSC around each of the first 2 stitches. I realized my error when my stitch count was off at the end of the round.
Round 19: Ran out of first skein during this round. Weighs 252 grams.
Round 28 *(See pic #9)*: Measures 23 1/2" unblocked. Weighs 477 grams.
Round 35: Ran out of third skein during this round. Weighs 746 grams.
Round 40 *(See pic #8)*: Measures 31 1/2" unblocked. Weighs 898 grams. This would be the perfect size for a Bathroom Vanity Rug.
Round 43: Ran out of fourth skein during this round. Weighs 1000 grams.
Round 47: Ran out of fifth skein. (Almost completed this round.)  Weighs 1249 grams.
Round 52 *(See pic #6-7)*: Measures 40" unblocked. Weighs 1451 grams.
Round 54: Ran out of sixth skein barely into the round. Weighs 1496 grams.
Round 58: Ran out of seventh skein. Weighs 1741 grams.
Round 62: Ran out of eighth skein. Weighs 1989 grams.

YARN
Reminds me of t-shirt yarn I have seen before in stores.  I like the softness & stitch definition this yarn & hook are making. Ended up finding it the least expensive on Craftsy.com for $6.49 a skein. By purchasing it online, you have a better chance of getting all the same dye lot. Skeins do not consistently weigh 250 grams. Of my 9 skeins, 5 of them weighed less than 250.  There were also several places where the yarn was tied together in the skein.  (I hate weaving in ends!) One person recommended sewing these ends in with a matching colored thread & needle since they don't easily blend into the other yarn.
