Question for knitters: Sock Wizard: Y/N?

And to put a little signal to this noise:

Basic Cabled Socks
Cabled Socks
Pillars of Atlantis Socks
Sock-u-lator cuff-down sock calculator. Does men, women, children and works out the heel turn.

For me? N. But I can work out gauge and row counts and so on by myself (and often have to adjust from what a pattern - or a size chart - tells me, so even if I did have something doing the math, it'd just be giving me a starting point anyway). If you get confounded by the numbers, then sure, why not?

I also wouldn't (and not just because I don't have a PC), mostly because I find that once you choose the yarn gauge and the needle size you like, it's pretty much the same numbers all the time. But if you think it would be useful, I don't think it could be a bad thing.

I got the Mac version as a gift. I'm glad it was a gift, because I would have felt like I'd wasted my money otherwise.

Re sock wizard and sock-u-lator, thanks but no. I'm on about my 20th pair knit cuff-down, and I've got the pattern in my head with the alterations for the SU or anyone else. It would be good, however, to find a toe-up pattern that replicates the top-down gusset and eye-of-partridge padded back of heel, because the short-row heel does not work for me.
