I think I've narrowed down my choices to two patterns for each pair of socks. For the wool socks, I think it's either going to be Eunny's
Bayerische..................
.....or Cookie A's
Baudelaire. For both these socks, I think the lovely, textured stitches would show up best with either a solid or heathered yarn, don't you?
And, for the cotton pair, it will either be the
Rainy Day Socks (with the changes in yarn weight and gauge I mentioned
before).......
......or this pair of
Snowflake Lace socks. I think this pair would be nice with a subtly variegated yarn in a single hue. I'm still considering which cotton yarn would be good. Perhaps something with bamboo, as one, kind reader suggested. I think it's supposed to have anti-bacterial qualities; a good thing for a pair of summer socks, n'est-ce pas?
Thank you, everybody, for your comments!!

If you knit Bayerische, use a solid yarn so that cables are the main attraction. And best of luck - I finished one and have had to take a break before starting the second!
Also with Bayerische, make sure that you have extra yarn on hand, as they eat yarn like no socks I've ever made before.
And I looooove the Snowflake socks!
Hi, Lana!
You visited my blog and I thought I'd return the favor. It's great! I love all the cooking and knitting adventures you have.
And I love reading about your relationship with your sister- it's nice to see family getting along and enjoying the same things.
Sorry about your roommate- clearly she's not as tidy as you are. Does she know how you feel about the mess?
As for Sockapalooza, I love the snowflake socks, too.
Have you seen the Zokni pattern online? (maybe it's zockni, not sure). I'm knitting that right now and loving it (except that I'm doing a heel flap instead of short rows).
Oooh - I love the snowflake pattern!
Ooh, are there bamboo yarns? I have a couple of pairs of socks that are made with a bamboo fiber, and I love how they hold up so well after multiple wears and washes, and they definitely keep the odors done (ahem).
I meant down, not done .:p
Those are all beautiful patterns. Whichever you picked will be liked.
Anyone you chose will be simply gorgeous. Have fun deciding which one to knit.
