With a guess of 2.8 socks per day, the winner is Kristen!

I actually have enough sock yarn to knit 43.5 pairs of socks,  2.806451613 socks per day.  Yes, half a pair.  I have several single skeins that were purchased for colorwork or for small childrens socks. 

Comments were made about it depending on the size of the sock, etc.  Sheesh, we’re talking average women’s socks here, not socks for my bigfoot hubby who wears a men’s 11 or for my 4yo.  Really, let’s not make this complecated.

For the purposes of this contest I considered one 50g skein/ball of sock yarn to equal 1 sock and a 100g skein/ball of sock yarn to equal one pair.  I know you can make socks out of any yarn, but we’re talking just yarn meant for socks.  I’m not counting all the yarn in my stash, no way, denial is lovely this time of year.

Congratulations Kristen!
