OK, so the LB Magic Stripes yarn has 300m per 100g, and Regia has 210m per 50g. No wonder I am running out.
I have repeatedly read on mailing lists and people think Magic Stripes is more of a sport-weight yarn - and I guess the yardage confirms that. BUT it sure don't seem like one to me! I am using size 0 needles, same as I use with any other sock yarn and getting the same spi as any other sock yarn. Maybe its just me...

Running short.
I have never run out of yarn in the middle of a project. That being said; I am about to run out of yarn for my broadripple socks. I had no idea that I would... I mean, I have always had sock yarn left over from each 50g ball. So now I am going to need more than 100g?! Dang. I didn't make the cuff much longer than usual (its still shorter than the pattern called for) and didn't think the pattern of increases and decreases would use more yarn than normal. So I ask you:
Do lace patterns usually use more sock yarn than plain? Or is there just less yardage with LB Magic Stripes yarn? (Need to check on that when I get home.)
Tonight is going to be a "no computer" night. I'm not going to turn it on when I get home from work because I have a list of things that need to be done around the apartment. Otherwise, it is too easy to get distracted with mailing lists, blogs, and Pogo. Nothing gets done and I stay up too late.
