<h1 class="clr--heading align--center">About This Site</h1>
<p>The idea for Yarn Help! started in early 2022 when Liz was recoding a metric conversion app from a Brad Traversy codepen to include some accessibilty features. She realized that with some tweaks it could be adapted to answer a question she's often asked "How many balls of yarn should someone buy for a gift or to make a particular type of project." </p>
<p>As a hobbist knitwear designer, Liz often has to calculate how many balls of particular yarn she needs to make a project with a custom pattern. So it's useful for experienced knitters and crocheters as well as those wanting to gift yarn. </p>
<h2>Version 1 and 2</h2>
In fall, 2022 she combined that logic with a metric convertor design from Scrimba to make version 1.0. Finally on March 17, 2023, Liz built out that logic into a mulitpage, mobile first design that calculated the number of balls of yarn needed for both knitting and crocheting multiple different projects including 6 different sizes of sweaters, and multiple sizes of scarfs and blankets using worsted (medium) weight (thickness) yarn.
