Enough yarn?  Keep your fingers crossed.  I really hate ripping and  re-knitting ribbing.

Go weigh the first sock, then the 2nd with the yarn. Make a good guess about the needle weight to subtract. I think you'll be fine!

I know that feeling! It looks like enough, but who knows? Will, indeed, keep fingers crossed, metaphorically speaking.

Plenty! I agree w/ Kathy's method for peace of mind.

Kathy's method is brilliant! Wouldn't have thought of doing that. I'll remember that, thank you.
I would love to know what yarn and colourway you are using? It's a lovely colour and quality of yarn.

crossing my fingers for you!

I was going to suggest you weigh the yarn and the sock......

Eyeballing it, it looks like enough. Fingers crossed here.

Looks like plenty to me! Better to run short at the top than at the toe... I ran out on the toe of the second sock of my last two pair. Luckily I was able to find sock yarn saviors on Ravelry that had some leftovers of exactly what I needed. Good luck!

I've had to do the weighing method before. It works, and if you are using a set of 5 size1 dpns, it is under 4 grams for the 4 needles in the project.

Looks like enough yarn to me, too. Love the pattern and the color!
