So what do you do with leftover sock yarn after making a pair of socks? Make mini socks!
I actually gave these socks to my niece Lizzy during our visit at Thanksgiving, but I just now picked up the camera and realized I had pictures in there I hadn’t done anything with. Silly me!
Anyway, kids socks are so much faster to make than adult socks – each sock was about an evening of knitting. And, as you can see, she couldn’t wait to put them on…actually, I think they go very well with her purple plaid dress and pink stripe stockings!
I hope I can make a kids’ pair out of all my sock yarn leftovers. Of course, that implies that I have the time to knit up all of my sock yarn. Someday I’m going to put it all in one place and count how many pairs of socks I can make. I honestly don’t know, but I’d guess that it’s at least a dozen pair of adult socks, plus whatever kids socks I can get from the mini-balls. Hello, my name is Sarah, and I’m a sock yarn addict.
