For my new sock pal:
About my sock size...I am sorry about this....my measurements are 10 inches long and 8.5 inches in circumference. That''s a size ten, baby. On a positive note, I like snug fitting socks and I also don't like my socks to be very tall, usually around 6 inches above the heel. So you catch a break in the leg length that (hopefully) makes up for the gi-normous feet.
In terms of yarns, I like Cherry Tree Hill, Koigu, Mountain Colors' Bearfoot and Schaefer Yarns' Anne. I really like all of the sock yarns, especially the nice ones.
About the pattern/color choices. I love all patterns and colors with one stipulation. I like pretty, patterned socks to be knit in solid yarns. I hate losing the pattern to a lovely varigated colorway. Plain ribbed socks can be in any yarns, varigated or solids.
I don't have any allergies, though I would always choose a softer wool over a coarser one. I'm also not a big holiday celebrater. I am more the winter solstice type.
Any questions, or comments about how snotty and elitest I sound can be directed to my email. I will have one of my peons get back to you in due time.
I think I have the perfect sock in mind! :)
