20ish? Yeah...in base 16
I catalogued all my sock yarn. 20 wasn't even close. I have yarn for a solid 31 pairs. This does not include yarn that's not necessarily for socks (e.g. Schaffer Anne). I'm tempted to declare January a War on Socks, but that'll surely jinx me.

Oi! Now I'm afraid to count the skeins of potential socks in my stash!
Posted by: Melanie | Jan 3, 2006 10:56:12 PM
Wow! That's impressive. Like, about $500 in sock yarns! You could start your own store...
Makes me think I can go out and augment my measly sock yarn stash -- I've only got 5 or 6 pairs worth.

Oh gee, I am sure I have just as much sock yarn as you do... I don't want to think about it. I just ordered more on Jan. 1

LOL... I think I have about as much... only problem... I've not managed to produce one single sock so far LOL... I've got 2 rows done on another try of a cuff down sock. It is some Opal hand painted yarn in medium grey, dark grey and a sky blue... gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Just need to figure this whole sock thing out I guess.
cheers

Loving the math reference in the subject.
Perhaps part of our sock problem is that we tend to pick up a few skeins when we go to MS&W and Stitches when we can't find anything else we want.

Brave girl...I'm not even going to try!
Posted by: Tracy | Jan 4, 2006 8:22:32 AM
Okay - this was exactly what I needed. I'm going to go home and catalog my sock yarn as well. Maybe *that* will convince me that probably, for now at least, I have *enough*. cough. cough.

I'm afraid to do the same... Lots of fun stuff there! You should probably not invite any of us over. LOL.

Mmmmmm Sock yarn! Forget knitting it, just roll in it!
Posted by: Johanna | Jan 4, 2006 9:30:43 AM
wow! that's a lot of sock yarn. i'd target the koigu for something else, but even without it, what a yummy list!
Posted by: amy. | Jan 4, 2006 10:58:07 AM
Hmmm, that makes me scared to check my stash. I don't think I have quite that much...nah, I probably have more.
Posted by: Jessica | Jan 4, 2006 12:02:14 PM
Okay, making a list like that is a little bit scary. Note to self: don't :). I hope your sock needles come with a little engine, hehe...
Posted by: grumperina | Jan 4, 2006 1:12:32 PM
hmm, i'm so envious... i have v. little stash of any kind. sock or sweater. but your collection is awesome. thank positive.
Posted by: blossom | Jan 4, 2006 1:13:36 PM
Mmmmm...mountain colors! Hold me back! I made a pair out of that exact same colorway and it's one of my favorites.
It may be alot, but at least they're pretty to pet and look at.

wahey! great post! if i'm going to do the same it had better be before my next order arrives ;-)
Posted by: kris | Jan 4, 2006 2:39:50 PM
Um, I think I might have more sock yarn. I'm not even going to attempt a catalog. Good luck with the sock knitting.

I was surprised by how my sock stash is too. Sock yarn is pretty small and one can easily and inexpensively--comparatively--purchase enough for a project! If I go to a shop and can't really find anything--I often buy sock yarn! Too easy to stash--and I have only finished two pairs. Pulse warmers are nice in fingering.

You're a collector of fine art!
Posted by: Mary Beth | Jan 4, 2006 5:53:41 PM
Thanks for posting your sock inventory - I'm greatful to see that other people's sock stashs are equal to or larger than mine! And I feel for you and the six different socks since the same thing happened to me last summer.
Posted by: Jill | Jan 4, 2006 8:26:21 PM
Oh. Wow. I feel so much less of a stash-hog now...! :o) Wow. Although, part of me is envious...so many socks-to-be!
Posted by: Kirsten | Jan 5, 2006 2:29:32 AM
I'm not sure i have the guts to do that kind of cataloguing. Ouch.
