For a second I thought you meant me! I'm Leslie and I live in San Francisco! hee hee! If you need any recommendations for SF fun, just let me know. Unfortunately, I'm travelling all of next week and a mer 18 days from my wedding, or I would extend an invitation to take you out to a healthy vegetarian dinner--like at Greens in Fort Mason--yummy! I wear my socks whenever I can. But I must say, they look particularly charming in my dansko clogs. Oh! For a second I thought you meant me! I’m Leslie and I live in San Francisco! hee hee!

I don't know what I'm doing, saving them for posterity I guess. Well, I wear my sock with sneakers or my red Mary Janes only occasionally.

Now I work in a casual environment where I can keep those boots on, but otherwise you would still find me wearing them and changing shoes at work (did that in the past). I wear my socks to bed on cold nights, too.

If I knit the socks then I also knit narrow I-cord laces with the leftover yarn. It's a bit of a chore to lace them into the eyelets as there is no aglet on the end, however perseverance wins out.

Great question! How fun! I wear my socks with my Birki Boston Clogs...or Birki Florida Sandals. These are the only shoes i can wear for comfort and due to the lymphedema in my legs. Until i was able to make my own socks, the only socks that fit me were a slouch sock that i can only get at Jc Penny's...they come in Navy, Black, White, Off-white, Gray and a Dusty Blue. So boring!!! ~Suz~ Oooh. Great question! How fun!

I used to dislike wool things, but now I can't find anything I appreciate wearing more than my handknit wool socks. =D I wear mine in my sneakers where no one can see them (>.>), in my Roman sandals (very stylish, everyone can see them), and occasionally to bed when my toes get cold.

Enough of the sock peeped over the tops so that everyone who saw them said "Oh, Jaywalkers! I know that pattern!" I'm thinking I need to get some Mary Janes to really show them off, though. Or start wearing my fleecy clogs to work... Lolly, I just had to thank you for Socktoberfest. You inspired me to actually finish a pair of socks, and I think you've inspired a sock addiction. Thank you so much for a great idea and a wonderful opportunity. I wore my first pair of finished socks to Rhinebeck with a pair of Timberlands.
