And the verdict is ...

cth cables5

I made it! Turns out that my handy little 4 oz = 100 g thought is not exactly right. 4 oz = 113 g, and luckily the lovely folks at Cherry Tree Hill weigh in ounces, not grams! And it looks like at least in this skein, generosity was key ... it's about 120 g total. Whew! I'm so glad, because I love these socks. They are a bit dense with the cables, but they sure are comfortable!

The modelled shot:

so very pretty and I was on tenderhooks as to whether you'll make it, but thats because I hadnt' realised you were using CTH. If I had known that I would had told you that the probably had enough.

Yay! And they look great. What would knitting be without a little suspense?

They are gorgeous! The cables and the color-beautiful.

If you do the calculations, 100 grams = 3.75 oz. So 4 oz is a generous skein :)

Yay!! These look great, way to score on the "extra" yardage :) Also, can you tell me if your Saracelle has the "purl every other row" type of pattern? I just bought some Sea Silk and think it would be great with your pattern, but am nervous about taking on something with all unique rows...

Loverly!!! Glad you had enough yarn! *G*
