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?
