Anxiety Socks

These are the socks that causing me anxiety. I am not sure I have enough yarn to finish them. The remaining yarn is in my new knitting bag. I saw the bag in Yarntootin, I was looking for a small bag to carry my socks for sometime. Ziploc bags are OK to keep the cats out but the needles make holes and I have to have another bag to put the ziploc in when I go out (which is very rare). I immediately ordered my GoKnit pouch from Scout's Swag . So far I am happy with it, I can secure my yarn inside the loop and I can snap the outside loop to my belt or arm of my wheelchair. Well, back to the socks, I got the yarn (J.Knits Columbus colorway) from am auction on eBay. While I was thinking I had such good deal I didn't realize I actually needed two skeins to make socks not one! My daughter liked the color so I told her I will knit her a pair. The socks are knitted in broken rib pattern with us sz 2 dpns. Like I said the remaning yarn is in the bag and I am not checking how much left. I did not close the toe of the first sock just in case I made need some yarn to finish the other one. She told me I can always make the toes different color. That would drive me crazy but she would not mind since most of the time she chooses to wear odd socks anyway! I should know by the end of today whether one skein is enough then I will start mine since I bought three different skeins on that auction. Smart... Next time I should pay attention to the description of the item.
