The Blue Socks weigh 42g
The “Gryffinclaw” Stripped Socks weigh 57g

It seems I can indeed make a pair of shortie socks from 50g of sock yarn. Yes, I have tiny feet.

February 2015: Added leftovers from my extreme legwarmers & a yarn purchased for a sweater repair. There’s enough yardage to make 2 pairs of sockettes I think.

August 2014: I thought I’d follow an actual legit toe-up sock pattern for once, instead of just making it up as I go along. I’m using up two small leftover cakes and haven’t decided if I’m striping or doing contrasting heel & toe. Either way, I think these will probably be sockettes.
