Profiles

Cindy
- Fiber Preferences: natural fibers best, blends ok. Not fuzzy, please.
- Color Preferences: anything but a bright (tomato-ey) red. My favorite color is green, I love jewel tones, pastels are nice, and I could use some neutral color socks… Rich hues are really what I like best.
- Cuff/Leg Preferences (height): For the saucy sock pattern, I like 5 repeats on the leg. I could use a few more rows on the ribbing though, but not a lot.
- Foot Length (not shoe size): My total “footprint” length is 10 inches. When I knit the test sock, I knit 7.75″ from the heel, then put the toe on top of that. I would use a yarn that gives you a gauge slightly larger than what is called for as my foot circumference is a little bigger as well. Maybe 6.5 or 7 spi.
Ruth
- Fiber Preferences: Natural fibers; natural fiber blends as long as it contains NO ACRYLIC; since this pattern indicates less stretch because of the cables, then probably wool vs. cotton.
- Color Preferences: I’m a “fall,” as my wardrobe can attest to – earth-tones! Usually muted (i.e., not a bright green, but a dull green) colors. When thinking about my current sock status, though this might sound pretty boring and not really “Spring-like,” I realize that I only have 1 pair of brown socks…so if you can find a nice yarn with brown-tone color variation that would be great (I personally don’t think this sock would look as good in a striped or variegated yarn – the colors differences of the yarn on the pattern picture are perfect).
- Cuff/Leg Preferences (height): Whatever the pattern calls for looks like it should be fine.
- Foot Length (not shoe size): Heel-to-toe is 10 inches. <I have a more narrow foot and ankle and usually need to adjust my sock patterns for a more snug fit – I always cast on 60, so was thrilled to see that that was the cast-on number in this pattern!
Patty
- Fiber Preferences: Wool, cotton/wool blend
- Color Preferences: Any color except orange.
- Cuff/Leg Preferences (height): Preferred height from bottom of heel to where I like it to be = 7″- 7 1/2″.
- Foot Length (not shoe size): From back of heel to tip of big toe = 9 1/4″
Kristie
- Fiber Preferences: a blend, like cotton/wool, etc. yarns I’ve used and liked Regia, Lana Grossa, Tofutsies
- Color Preferences: something light colored, I wear a lot of khaki, like cream or a light green would be nice. I’m ok with pinks or light purple too. Have PLENTY of blue though.
- Cuff/Leg Preferences (height): I don’t care for BIG cuffs, I usually do about an inch or less for cuffs. Overall length, maybe 4-6 inches? I don’t really care.
- Foot Length (not shoe size): almost 8.5 inches exactly.
LaVerna
- Fiber Preferences: I prefer natural fibers,nothing to itchy and it would be really great if it were machine washable!
- Color Preferences: None. I am leaving it up to my partner. Just pick something that says Spring to you and go for it!
- Cuff /Length preferences: Not very long, probably 3 repeats of the saucy pattern is good. I don’t like very tall socks.
- Foot length: 9.5″
Iva (icwquilts)
- Fiber Preferences: I like the natural yarns. No acrylic please.
- Color Preferences: I love all colors but I am lacking in blue right now.
- Cuff/Leg Preferences (height): I am tall so I like me length a little long. Most pattern sizes are just fine for me.
- Foot Length (not shoe size): 91/2 inches.
Barb
