Help me find socks. →[More:]

I want colorful wool socks like they used to have at the Gap. Not thick and fluffy, but not too thin, either. I want stripes, polka dots, etc.

I've been looking, but I haven't found much at all... Hope me!

Socks are good.

PS. cmonkey needs socks too.

REI. Smartwool. The colors are not that great but the quality and the feel of them are wonderful.

Surely sockdreams will have something...

Smartwool makes a pricey, but very nice, sock.

Yeah, I like smartwools a LOT, but they are just too expensive.

These are more like it, but I really wanted a $7 or so price tag...

What about these?

Those are nice colors mullacc, but they're mostly acrylic.

These make me ooh and these really make wish I made more money...

I also like Dahlgren socks very much, though I don't know if they make stripes.

I love my Smartwool margarita socks. I had the little shortie ones (4 of 'em) and Rupert ate one, but I can still make a set from the remaining 3. Then I noticed they have a new type of margarita sock in an above-the-ankle height so I bought 2 pairs of those too, and am keeping them away from Rupert.

Those are lovely Matteo, but just out of my price range.

I need to knit more...

Sock Dreams is awesome. I shop from the site often, and they're really nice. Yo u might also want to check out Stockingirl (might be NSFW).

I have a sock obsession. Heh.

i love the over the knee socks but i'm tempted to go with the ad hoc self jiggered arm and leg warmers.

My roommate is crazy about socks. I mean, she spends hours buying socks on the internet. I'll ask her where she gets them.

There are $65 dollar socks in this world? Seriously? I don't think I own a pair of shoes that cost that much. (They are really cute, though.)

Oh, ok, she gets her socks from Sock Dreams. So add another recommendation for it to the list.
