I decided on 3x3 ribbing up the legs and I still have to knit the after thought heels. Jeanne Berry: You were right, I will need most of the second skeins to finish these socks.

I LOVE SOX!!! <b>Bev Love:</b> It depends on the yardage and weight of your yarn, the needle size, and the sock size/length. I can get one sock out of a skein of Patons SWS (my current fetish) which is 110 yds/100 meters/80 gram medium weight soy-wool blend. You may want to hold off on destashing until you've finished one sock. :-) Two good socks down, two bad experiments ready to be frogged, and seven more pairs to go! I LOVE SOX!!!

I'm excited but stuck and need some help. If anyone knows a site that actually shows the process that's what I need as I'm a visual learner.

I discovered that I only needed one ball of sock yarn to make a pair of socks (total newbie right?!? :} ) So I think I will post the extra balls on the Destash blog. Or, maybe I will want two pairs in these colors so they won't wear out so fast. Naw, I would probably get bored knitting 4 socks in the same yarn.
