Knitting socks - how far does the wool last?
If you wear 50 g sock wool socks Gr. If you want to knit 40 - 44, you never know how long you can knit the waistband, so that the wool just before the point is not over. So you pick up the stitches to be stitched with an auxiliary thread (or from a crocheted cord) and knit after 2 equal smooth stitches equal to the (cap) heel. Then knit the socks to the desired size. Then pick up the stitches from the auxiliary thread and knit the waistband / length until the wool ends. Bind off loosely, possibly with a double thread or a thicker needle. Unfortunately, then you have no Wollreste from which you can do exciting things.
