*nods* I figured, I've picked up on some of the yarn cost, just because I do swoon at some of what you've shown, and you drop a detail here and there about the cost. If I was going to make socks, I'd have to find a way to figure for durable and shiny. I have a weird habit of strange socks - dragons and guitars and tassles and patterns and... I think maybe it is my inner rebels response to the general severity of how I dress? Not sure. One of those things I'll analyze at some point. But durability is necessary for me as far as clothing goes. I'm hard on it. Sometimes it seems like I have an entropic effect on objects that stay in relatively close contact with me. (Though I now have a pen that defies that effect. Thankfully. I've only had two incarnations of it in 12 years or so.)
Sad thing is, I'm not sure all the things I have issue with. I have gotten to a point where I avoid unexplained "fragrance" like the plague. C is the one who is more up on all the yuck they put into cleaning products - but I've just begun to only buy things where I can identify all the ingredients without needing to know more latin than I do, and can identify them as things I do not have issue with.
