One for you, one for me

Two more pairs of socks finished! One for my husband, and one for me. Don’t we look happy together?

Materials used

needles: Bergère de France bamboo dpns size 2.5 (5)
tapestry needle
yarn:

For my husband’s socks: DROPS Fabel (602)
For my socks: ONline Supersocke 100 Sportive Color (1169)

Tip

Usually I use 50 grams of yarn for one sock. With the DROPS yarn, that is easy: one skein per sock. But for the ONline yarn, skeins are 100 grams, so you only need one for two socks. Now, how best to prevent that you run out of yarn while knitting the second sock?

A friend at the knitting circle gave me a great tip: she weighs the yarn. So when you have a 100-grams skein, use your scale to divide it up into two balls of 50 grams. Et voilà, you don’t need to worry about yarn shortage!
