First I spun up a small amount of yellow roving. These are tiny socks so you don't need much roving at all. I did the Navajo ply on the fly method so when I was done, I was done - no additional plying needed.
Then I just kept going with the black - you can cut them apart later...it's just a lot easier when spinning such small amounts to do it this way (In fact the yellow is attached to the current project I have going on the spindle but I wanted to whip this out quick so I just stopped the roving and started the yellow). The reason I was able to do it that way is because of the Navajo ply.
Here are the wee finished 'skeins.' I guess you can't see how tiny and cute they are since I didn't have anything in the photo for reference.
Here is my finished sock. I call him Charlie Brown.
That's about 8 or 9 inches. Glad I spun just that little bit more! Seriously the whole project took less than 2 hours and you don't have to set the twist in the yarn if you don't want to since the garment will not be worn.

And how many changes of sock does your key chain now have? Should have quite the little wardrobe going! ;-) I have finished one socklet. (if you can say it is finished without the ends being woven in)
Let's see I think my keychain now has 5 sockies, I also made one for a 5yr old pal (he doesn't get the keychain, just the sock of course).
Ahhh Charlie Brown my favorite! Those are so cute! you crack me up 5 sockies! Only 2 hours ... LOL like it's nothing :)
