Fits thighs up to...

[tephra]

So I'm cruising around LJ to avoid making a call that I need to make but really don't want to deal with and I come across a reference to Sock Dreams. Now I'm not that much for socks, at least not like I am for shoes and boots, but the indication was that funky (as in looks, not smells wiseguy) socks could be found there so I went looking.

OMG, tons of thigh high and over knee socks in nifty patterns and colors. They have toe socks and tabi, and animal print toe socks! *glee*

I find a likely pair of thigh highs, advertised as fitting feet sized 8-13 and stretchy for larger thighs. Cool. Then I read the sizing info:

"36 inches from the heels to the tops with good two way stretch. medium to larger feet sized 8-13 thighs up to at least 24 inches, remember, the wider your thighs the less high these will go, but you can always cuff them or slouch them. "

...

My calves are 24 inches.

*pout*

So morganalilith, I remember you mentioning you knit socks. Have any handy advice for a new sock knitter? Guestimation help on ounces of whatever weight yarn to sock size?

No, I pretty much have always used "azhreia" for most of the last 11-odd years online. Before that, I was known as Inka Princess, but being a princess in a room full of dragons just isn't a naturally tenable position, you know? ;-)

I will point out that I only *do* #afd in the IRC channel (originally on dalnet, now on sorcery). I'm not a MUCK person, or a mailing group person. I joined #afd on dalnet when dalnet was very new - I remember the night it hit 100 concurrent users and Dalvenjah putting it in the subject line on #dragonrealm. ;-)

So yeah, I've been around for quite a while.

I haven't done #afd since... '97-ish. :) My memory is weird though, I remember text really well so I might actually remember 'you' from way back then, but only as your name in text. 8)
