Enough yarn?
I know I've read several posters here say that the yarn requirements specified in the book were not enough. Is that generally true or only for certain patterns. I have 750 yards of yarn for a pattern that calls for 700, and I'm wondering if it will be enough.
Personally, the two patterns that I have made (the dolphin lace scarf from page 108 and the wide bordered scarf from page 96) have both called for less yarn than was needed.

It at last partially depends on what pattern it is, and if the yarn you're using is a lace weight yarn or something else.

I haven't finished anything yet, but right now I am trying to make sure I have at least 100 more yards of yarn than what is called for.
