The verdict

Thanks for your votes! By a wide margin, you reported that you would like a free, basic outline for the socks. I have already done most of the writing, having noted the totals over the last few days, and I will try to take some better (less blurry) shots of the socks this weekend, to aid in your knitting should you attempt them.

Here is the final tally:
Free pattern: 24
Complete pattern: 7
No pattern: 3
