I received two balls of sock yarn, which is PERFECT! I've limited myself to making "bigger" things, like hats and scarves. I've been afraid to try to work with something so small, but now I have no excuse. Each of these balls will make one pair of socks, and my SS was awesome enough to include a link to a pattern to use! My wife has already claimed one color, and now my daughter has claimed the other. Thanks so much!
