What to do with a sock tube???
Socks is the obvious but what about fingerless mitts? Cowls? Sleeves? Knit directly from the tube and never worry about the ball falling apart...
Search afterthought heels and toes for all kinds of ideas. Kate Atherley has some great tutorials online.
Sock tube inventory will change as I crank more on my Dean & Bean circular sock machine.
Most tubes will do a regular pair of socks or I've done 2 pairs of ankle socks with contrast heels, toes and cuffs and had enough left to do fingerless mitts with afterthought thumbs.
***tubes will have a contrast waste yarn at beginning and end and sometimes at the half way point - this is NOT sock yarn
