I have been collecting sock leftovers in a nice neat bag and in my 2016 Wishlist I wanted to knit Jellybean some tube socks. I have been mulling using Jasmin from the Knitmore Girls Genevieve’s Tube Socks. I had the yarn and the needles and took off. I pulled the Saki Bamboo from my Conference Vanilla Socks in crayon box. I had 20 grams left and divided it in half.
At first blush they look fine…
They are waaaay to short! My baby had big feet and these “socks” are only 6 inches long. They don’t even cover his heels! The width is fine but they need to be twice as long. In other words I need at least 40 grams of sock yarn leftovers.
Oh well, we’ve repurposed them as gloves!

At least they found a use! They might be long but they are precious feet!!
Those feet! I may have squeed. Glad the “socks” found a better use!
The mittens turned slowly into chew toys as he is working on 6 new teeth at once π
Oh I did exactly the same thing only it was 18 years ago….and my son is still waiting for me to make him another pair! The colours are lovely
Aww they’re so sweet as well! Glad you managed to re-purpose them.
