How many stitches should I cast on to knit a full size blanket?
This is in general. I know it depends on the needle size (maybe between a 7 thru 10) and the yarn. But just about how many approzimatley ins or abouts??? I would really appreciate your help 
For the most part, blankets for adults are about 90-94 inches long--only the width changes depending on the size of the bed. So for a twin, the width is about 65 inches; doubles are 85 inches; queens are 90 inches and kings are 102-104 inches wide. Of course, one of the easiest ways to determine what size blanket you'd like for your bed, couch, crib, etc., is to simply measure a blanket that you like for width and length.
To determine how many stitches to cast on, make a swatch of about 30 stitches by 35 rows (in your choice of patterns), measure it, wash it, beat it up, and see how it looks. (You might decide after seeing it washed a couple of times that you don't like the yarn or it is not wearing well.) Depending on the size of your swatch, simple arithmetic will help you determine the number of stitches to cast on and how many rows you can anticipate knitting in order to finish a blanket of your desired size.
So, after spending a lot of time working on a comfy blanket for a bed, I learned a LOT about what NOT to do. Here are some of my caveats:
1) Do NOT use a stretchy, flimsy or hairy/fuzzy yarn (such as chenille) for blankets. They will stretch to huge sizes, fall apart and defuzz leaving you covered with lint and gasping in the morning.
2) Do NOT attempt to wholly knit a double, queen, or king blanket. The size of the finished piece is so huge that the weight of the material does not stand up to wear. Eventually, even my most sturdy acrylic yarns were pulled so much that my rectangle had changed into something resembling a pentagon after just a few uses. I made a beautiful queen sized blanket for my bed that--years later--looks wonderful, but it incorporates knitted panels along with more stable "cloth" borders and a cloth back. My knitted queen- sized blanket feel apart due to its size, but steeked, cut and re-worked it looks great--so I did not have to throw it out.
3) DO use acrylic yarns. Yes, I know acrylic does not have as nice a "hand" as natural fibers, but natural fibers simply do not hold up under all the weight caused by the size of the blanket. Acrylic is really stable--meaning that it will not pull out of shape--and it washes/dries easily and releases stains.
After making several throws and one large queen sized blanket, I've come to understand why my grandmother always sent me crocheted blankets. Crocheting uses a lot more yarn, but, overall, each of those interwoven threads work togehter to create a more stable material. Crocheted material often has very little "give" either horizontally or vertically, which makes for a great long-lived blanket. Knitting relies only on one loop interconnected with another to create a fabric, so it becomes very important to find an appropriate yarn to carry the weight of the blanket and hold up to washing and abuse.
Good luck on your blanket!!

Hypnotherapy for Fear of Needles and Needle Phobia
Just about anyone can be affected by needle phobia
Its correct clinical name is trypanophobia - an irrational and often intense fear of hypodermic needles or injections - though it is regularly labelled belonephobia, this term is incorrect since it denotes a fear of pins and needles, without reference to the medical aspects.
Regardless of the label, for those suffering from needle phobia the very thought or sight of a syringe or hypodermic needle can provoke overwhelming feelings of anxiety and even panic.
At least 10% of all adults are believed to suffer from this truly inconvenient and potentially dangerous condition.
In fact, the real figure may well exceed this because the most severe cases are simply not recorded. Those suffering from intense needle phobia tend to do everything possible to avoid all medical treatment.
The cause of needle phobia usually lies in the individual's past and most often springs from two causes:
At some time, often in childhood, the person has experienced a painful or traumatic procedure involving a hypodermic syringe or an injection, perhaps at the dentist or doctor's office. Because of this he or she has then subconsciously paired this experience with a fear of all such needles in what is called a 'conditioned response'.
The other main way in which this phobia can be acquired is simply because someone else has had a bad experience with hypodermic needles and this has been passed on to the individual, again, often in childhood.
Some have suggested that there may be a genetic element to trypanophobia because about 80% report having a relative who also has the same phobia. I have not found this to be the case, however, in my own clinical experience.
The fact that such a large percentage of people suffering from needle phobia have family members who also suffer from the same condition seems to be an indication of the ability of the child to empathetically mimic the fears of the adult or of other children.
There can also be links to other phobias and fears, such as to the fear of bleeding or other elements that may serve to strengthen and complicate the phobia.
The affects and consequences of living life as a needle phobic can indeed be great. Some people simply avoid going to the doctor or dentist at all costs, even when they are experiencing terrible pain or are in urgent need of medical treatment.
However, real help is available.
With correctly applied advanced transformational hypnotherapy, even long standing, chronic cases of needle phobia can be cured.
Once the cause, the origin of the fear is uncovered, then the subconscious mind can be taught to get things back into perspective and release its fearful grip.
Often the needle phobic's conscious mind is only too well aware that this is a fear that is irrational, but it is simply unable to remove it.
With advanced transformational hypnotherapy techniques, we can quite easily re-align the subconscious mind's faulty perceptions and beliefs with those of the conscious, rational mind and free the individual from this truly restrictive and potentially damaging fear.
If you or someone you care about is a needle phobic, suffering from needle phobia - trypanophobia - then the valuable help that you need is available.
With advanced transformational hypnotherapy you can indeed set yourself free.
