I have never crocheted a pair of socks. I'm terribly jealous of all the funky socks that knitters get to make, so I bought "Crocheted Socks - 16 Fun-to-Stitch Patterns".

I'm planning on making Easy Does It. That's the first pattern in the book. I'm not buying the recommended yarn, so the first thing I need to know is what is commonly available that is comparable to what's listed: Meilenweit Cotton (45% cotton, 42% wool, 13% nylon). I've been looking for awhile and I've never seen yarn in the stores that has nylon in it. I'm also concerned because they don't list the "thickness" of that yarn. Is that called the "weight". Do you guys think I could get away with using Wool-Ease?

I hope there's a least one other crocheter out there that's in the mood for socks...
