Anklet length question

What size anklet would you all wear? I've been getting orders for anklets
with the spiral stitch and I've found the easiest way is to have someone
measure their ankle and go from there. Does this sound right? So, this
means every one I've made is custom but it would be nice to make some up for
"extra" Maybe a chain like for the braclets so it's adjustable?

Later,

I've been wanting to do this for quite a few things (adjustment
chains). Anyone have suggestions on


1. size and style of chain (links have to be a good size to hold a
clasp)
2. vendor / supplier
3. how to finish the end (a bead or charm, or just let it dangle)

TIA

I made most of mine 8" and that fits the little people. Mine are 11" -- I have
big legs, always have, always will. My ankle bracelets look like
mini-necklaces. Doesn't stop me from wearing them.

No, they're in proportion - there's no fluid. My wrists are just strangely
small. The rest of me is large.

If your lower legs, ankles and feet seem "thick" out of proportion to the
rest
of you -- especially if you're somewhat overweight, and can remember when
they
*didn't* look that way -- it's possible that you've got some fluid
settling in
the tissues there. This happened to me once, and I thought it was just the
"natural" result of gaining weight... until a friend's roommate asked to
use me
as a practice subject for massage training. Suddenly I had ankles again!

It might be worth the money to get half an hour's time with a professional
massage therapist concentrating on your lower legs and feet. The best part
is,
once that fluid has been forced back into circulation, it takes quite a
while
for it to build back up again. I try to go in for this treatment about
once a
year, and that seems to keep things under control.
