Sock Blanket Saturday

I recently signed up for a group BlankieMania on Ravelry.  They often do lots of swaps for blanket yarns.  I thought I'd get in on this, but often they offer 5 grams mini skeins.  The problem with this is that my lightest square is 7grams and the heaviest is an astonishing 14 grams!  (All squares weighed after knitting.)  And it makes me wonder if my 4x4 squares are so much larger than everyone else's?
