When I purchase yarn for knitting socks, I always purchase two small skeins because one is not enough to make a pair of socks. I have yarn left over when I finish knitting the pair. I wondered if the left over yarn would be enough to make a pair of footies. As you can tell by the above picture, I had a piece of yarn about 18 inches long left over! Whoa, that was cutting it close! I was beginning to think I might have to piece the toe...but all's well that ends well.....
