Look at your partner's profile to see what colors or themes they may like. Make sure the socks aren't plain white.. try to find something patterned and fun.

Every one please post your shoe/sock size in the comment section! Also, you can post a color or some other preferance below. This doesn't mean your partner HAS to find the exact color or description you list, but it's something for them to keep in mind while looking for your socks :)

I wear a woman's shoe size of 7, so the normal sock size works for me. I am open to any color or pattern of socks. Thank you in advance!

dandelion 02/ 8/2007 #

My shoe size is a woman's size 7. I'm up for any kind of socks! :D

Glenn 02/ 8/2007 #

My size is 6-6.5 woman's, i'd prefer argyle pattern! (if you're not sure what that is, look at the photo icon for this swap!) any color in argyle pattern would be great!

mutantpenguin 02/ 8/2007 #

OK... info says 1 partner but text says 2. Which is it?

rhogre60 02/ 8/2007 #

how do we find out who our partner(s) is?

user5780 02/ 8/2007 #

hi! I am a shoe size 7,and I am up for any type of socks especially knee socks and ones with cute things on them.

Glenn 02/ 9/2007 #

whoops.. thanks mutantpenguin.. It's 2 partners.

user5203 02/ 9/2007 #

I am a shoe size 8.5-9. I like any type of socks. Funny or crazy ones are the best. I am in search of ones with llamas, but any are great.

user5402 02/ 9/2007 #

My shoe size is 6.5 womens. Any type of sock will be great.

gramsbuttonbox 02/10/2007 #

Hi, I love any patterened/cute/colorful/ - in any color. Love funny animals on socks too! I wear a size 8 shoe, so "normal" women's size is fine. LOVE this swap idea, it's a hoot! Mary

mutantpenguin 02/10/2007 #

I wear a size 7 shoe and I love pink. Please, no toe socks - I already have enough! Knee socks would be good but I also like crew. Plain, stripes, dots but please, no cute designs (eg hearts, bears, whatever). I also like lilac and blue but please, no argyle, green, brown, orange or yellow unless it's a small accent color. I'm being too picky, I know. But I want to wear them to work! But please, DON'T WORRY!! I will love anything! Especially if I get something. This is my 5th swap and I've only received from 1. Please don't disappoint me!

ellawitch 02/10/2007 #

i wear a 7 or an 8 so normal women's size socks are fine for me. i love wearing novelty socks so feel get me socks with animals, holidays or whatever on it. i just ask no toe socks (the ones that look like gloves for your feet) or those little half socks where they come to the top of your shoes (to put it bluntly i have a scar there and when they come up to that point it always rubs against the area and hurts). but otherwise, i am game for any color, pattern, whatnot....

ellawitch 02/10/2007 #

heavenly bean - i looked online a bunch for womens socks in 12w and couldn't find any. sigh...that's gotta suck. where do you find womens socks that size? i hope you don't mind me asking. i was just wondering. maybe since you are harder size to find, maybe there is someone else in your house that your swap partner could buy for that is a smaller size? just wondering, not trying to be a problem or anything like that. i just wouldn't know what to get you if i got you as a partner. and i don't want to buy a pack of plain old men's socks. that's no fun!

user5410 02/10/2007 #

I love any kind of funky socks (but have a thing lately for sculls and I always love fairies).....though I hate toe socks...as I have fat sausage toes giggles. Though reg. women's socks work for me. I love this kind of swap.

Neenbug 02/11/2007 #

Size 7 shoe size for me. Any sock will do! I love anything that keeps me warm.

Glenn 02/11/2007 #

To my partner, if you can't find argyle socks, fuzzy/warm ones would be nice.. it's cold!

fairykiss 02/12/2007 #

Ok, I wear around a size 9 1/2. I don't care for ankle socks, but will use them if sent. My husband makes fun of me and says I have little monkey toes because they are more like fingers so toe socks will be used if sent :) I also love anything cute!!

butterflykisses 02/12/2007 #

I wear a size 10 shoe size so socks in a size 9-10 work for me. Don't send any toe or ankle socks though. I don't really care for those. I would prefer something unique or warm and fuzzy. Socks with funky patterns or silly characters work too!

user6171 02/12/2007 #

My shoe size is 7 so the average sock size will be fine. I love bright colors and any "cute" pattern will be great by me, whether argyle, animals, stripes or fuzzy. Never owned any toe socks so don't know if I would like them or not!?! :)

Cnvingltlbtch 02/12/2007 #

i wear a womans shoe size of 8. i like the argyle socks in the picture. Basically any type of sock would be cool. I usually just buy the ugly white mens socks (cheaper and great deal at costco,lol) so any bit of color will be gladdly welcomed.

gramsbuttonbox 02/13/2007 #

when do we get our trading partners? I thought maybe yesterday, or today?
thanks, Mary

gramsbuttonbox 02/13/2007 #

the reason I asked, is that I'm disabled and do not drive, so I have to get someone to get to a store for these, and we are having a blizzard right now - I may be a bit limited by time constraints. It's not easy finding someone to run to the store anyway, but now with all this snow, it may be even tougher. .......please distribute the lists soon? Mary

If our coordinator doesn't assign or partners, the swap-bot system will assign them for us three days after the sign up day of the swap. I too wished we would have had the name of our partners yesterday because I live in Ohio and at the moment we are having blizzard conditions as well and I am unable to get out to go anywhere. Yesterday was the perfect day to get some shopping done. Here's hoping we will get the names of our partners soon!

Glenn 02/13/2007 #

partners have been assigned!

Neenbug 02/14/2007 #

Fun to scrap what kind of socks do you like?

Cnvingltlbtch 02/20/2007 #

Got the cool socks today. Thanks.

Kimmie and maebeajane, your packages were sent Saturday, but with this weather, we\'ve been without reliable internet connections. They are on the way, hope they arrive soon. Mary

DeAnne;

Got your socks today. They are so cute. Totally small world. I lived in Shady Cove from June 1990 to July 1991.

Heavenly bean and Heartsnyou;

When I got home from work today I had two packages waiting on me! Thanks so much to the both of you for my cute socks. What a nice way to end a Monday.

how long do we wait until we wonder if we are getting anything? I don't want to rate anyone too early, but just wondering... MaryB

Cnvingltlbtch 02/27/2007 #

MaryB....

I usually contact the person who should be sending to me about two weeks after the mailing deadline if they are in the USA and four weeks if they are outside the USA. I try to contact the person before giving a bad rating, sometimes something has come up. Now these are not requirements but rather just how i do it. Hope that helps answer your question.

gramsbuttonbox 03/ 3/2007 #

it still shows "not sent" in the list, altho the profile is updated to say they went out already - and I've not heard anything back from the person in response to my email.

Even tho this is not the first time this person did not send, according to the comments in their rating, it still hurts a little - this was the very first swap I signed up for. Oh well, I'll wait a couple more days until the two weeks is up.

I DID receive the CUTEST sox from FunToScrap - and a beautiful, and wonderfully LONG letter along with it - thank you so much! MaryB

rhogre60 03/ 6/2007 #

i received both my sock swap pkgs! thank you so much! l just love them both!!! this was so much fun!!!

rhonda

gramsbuttonbox 03/ 8/2007 #

This was real disappointing - considering the coordinator of this swap is the one I never received... - even tho it says on her profile it was sent the 26th of Feb - and I've gotten no response to my messages either. According to her profile, this is not the first swap she's coordinated and not sent out - and this was my FIRST swap - hopefully I'll have better luck with some of the other swaps, but will avoid any swaps that are coordinated by this person in the future - that's really sad - I just wish she'd answer my messages....
