As fearely suspected, it happened. I run out of yarn one inch before the beginning of the toe shaping of my Gentleman Sock #2... Bummer ! 
Although the yardage per skein is similar, the fact that I have substituted Trekking Pro-Natura to Trekking XXL must make a difference -- especially that I am making a Men's Medium size and deeper heels...
Or perhaps my socks require more yarn because I am using size needles #2US instead of #1US as instructed in the pattern -- I tend to knit tight.
Or maybe both... 
Anyway. Whatever the reason(s) is/are, there is no way I am going to ripp off my socks now. Nope, certainly not! 
So, the only other option - rather than outrageously finishing the sock with some unmatching remains from other projects - was to call Astrid to the rescue... 
Now, I am not sure I am going to get the same dye lot because I bought that yarn some time ago, but I guess it does not really matter since the toe part of the sock will be in the shoe anyway. Besides, the socks will be staying in the family and Mister T. does not care if his socks are not identical twins.
Waiting for the yarn to come in the mail now...
