Sock Yarn-O-Meter no. 2

I liked the first Sock Yarn-O-Meter so much, that I want to make a second. Trouble is: I don't have 1000 g of sock yarn to use up! I've counted and it seems I have around 900 g when I include all scraps. Therefore, new rules:

- 800 g used = 100% (i.e. 8 g used is +1%)

- all sock yarn counts

- I can knit whatever, not only socks

- If I buy new sock yarn before reaching 100%, 8 g will equal -1% (setting the limit so close to the max. amount I have, I can't really have 'double punishment' (here: -2% per 8 g), or I'll end up never being able to finish this one!)

- Prize: whatever suits my fancy :)

BTW, I realised I didn't mention this in my Sock Yarn-O-Meter I wrap-up: I didn't buy any sock yarn during the first Sock Yarn-O-Meter! But seeing as the second version is likely to be more slow going - I'm knitting sweaters and baby gear and am no longer on a sock knitting frenzy - I may not be that good this time... :)

Sock Yarn-O-Meter done!

With the second last pair of my A Year in Socks pattern collection I reached 100% on my first Sock Yarn O'Meter. Here they are, the July Socks:

I used 112 g of Socks That Rock Lightweight, colourway Firebird = 11.2 % added to the Sock Yarn O'Meter - which brings it above 100%!

The Sock Yarn O'Meter comes with a prize upon completion. My prize?

Well, I went overboard on Tante Hanne's August/September sale on Isager Alpaca 2. I can't think of anything better than having a nice stash of high quality yarn in (small) sweater quantities (with this yarn, 250 g is enough for my size). Yum!
