I had been working my Vacation Vanilla Socks from a single wound skein. Normally I split my yarn into two equal cakes for matching socks so I don’t have to guess or measure during the knitting. I was far enough with the first sock that I weighed and pulled out enough yarn to get half and then cut.
I had a quite a large ball of yarn left to finish this first sock. I kept going up the leg and ball didn’t shrink much. I’m at decision point….keep going up the leg or start the cuff.
I need to measure with a ruler. My eyeballs say “that’s far enough” but arguably they aren’t always reliable, lol. I hate making decisions when I feel the pull of “just get this project done”. This project needs to percolate a bit I think.
Happy Knitting!!

Are they for you or someone else? At this point in my socks I’m usually at the “Try on and tell me you want it done” phase, haha. I have been on a long sock kick so I would probably knit another inch or so then do a 3-4 inch cuff.
They are for me. But with the nine inch circ I’d have to take it off the needle to try on. I usually go with the SWAG method ☺️
I always make that mistake about the length of things. I decide on a length at the start of the project, but then I get to a point where I measure and decide that’s good enough as I want to get it done and feel like I’ve accomplished something:) I’d say go with measuring and stick it out so they are what you want when you’re done:)
