    calf max 15.25
    heel to knee 17.5

    Those are the only measures I have at hand (plus foot length). I've knitted another pair in this yarn so have some starting points. I've estimated stitch counts based on the swatch already knitted, and as mentioned I'm going to knit up some other areas ahead of time to check my work.

    From those measurements it sounds like you're making hose for me!

    Don't decrease in the garter; the ribbing will hold the sock up.
    I can't see your swatch (firewalled), but make you sure you gauge a completed cable and a 4" sqaure section of the ribbing and stockinette. You'll nedd to do a little algebra to figure out an exact stitch count. Good luck!

    When given a choice, most people will choose.
