Here's a quick update so show you progress on the sock yarn blanket so far. It's beguiling, because it seems like it's growing really quickly due to the squares being pretty quick to knit, however I'm gonna need about 700 of them!!
Actually, having taken the picture it really doesn't seem like I've done anything at all! I've done a lot of individuals because I've been making 2-4 squares from the same yarn due to rapidly running out of yarn scraps! I've bought a Colinette creative pack, and some gorgeous mini skeins from Knitting Goddess so hopefully supplies will arrive soon! I've also signed up for two travelling swap bags through Ravelry, and picked up mini skeins through Folksy and Etsy. I'm also thinking of biting the bullet and buying another dying kit, this time using acid fast dyes which seem to have stronger, bolder colours. If that goes well I might be tempted to start selling mini skeins myself as there are a lot of people knitting sock yarn blankets!
I've also had a load of sock yarn arrive from Ravelry destashes and a sock yarn club, so I'll get on with taking pictures of those in the next week or so :)
Happy knitting :)

Oh you must pictures of your yarn porn! My squares are about 7 to 9 grams worth of yarn. What about your squares? would the mini skeins cover it?

Thanks! I've just had some Wollmeise arrive too, so it wouldn't right not to photograph it! I'm casting on 31 stitches, so the squares are tiny - my scales are only accurate to 1g but they are between 3-4 grams each! Most mini skeins I've seen are between 10-20g each xx
