Someone like me who gets -40ish winters, I'd love heavy socks. If they live in say, miami, that might be an issue. I think as long as it's not an extremely hot climate where they live, go for the swatch you really love!Mathgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18254149945968173509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843744762575370521.post-30728511752299017742007-05-10T17:46:00.000-04:002007-05-10T17:46:00.000-04:00I think you should make those for your sp!

I live in NC and wouldn't imagine wearing socks with sandals - or socks at all past april, but that doesn't mean I stop knitting them!

That's why I like handpainted yarn so much--all the colors without the work! <BR/>I may be in the minority, but I think you should knit socks that will work with the climate she lives in. If she lives where it snows several months out the year, then she will likely get good use out of thicker socks and absolutely love having them. On the other hand, if she is like me and may see snow once a year and only if I travel to it, then she would probably appreciate thinner socks more than thick ones. <BR/>So, if your pal lives where it gets cold, then I totally vote for this pattern--it looks awesome!s bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00382417781843534427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843744762575370521.post-38923495232784899562007-05-10T14:19:00.000-04:002007-05-10T14:19:00.000-04:00I think you're fine as long as she lives somewhere...I think you're fine as long as she lives somewhere it gets cold (I wouldn't send them to south fl).

The colors are amazing and I am sure your pal will appreciate how much hard work went into each and every one of the steps to make his/her socks.<BR/>Now, onto your question...Do you know where your recipient lives? If she is a warm climate gal, then light airy socks may be better suited. However, if she is like me, and lives where it snows and is cold at least 50% of the time, warm winter socks would not only be appropriate but very thoughtful!<BR/>I hope this helps! I am in awe of your stranding...I have never mastered this art, and wish I could!Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633972407344926658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843744762575370521.post-43709797732524927872007-05-10T10:55:00.000-04:002007-05-10T10:55:00.000-04:00I think you should make the sock you want, regardl...I think you should make the sock you want, regardless of season. I, for one, would be more thrilled by a spectacular and self-designed sock than by one that matches the weather. Happy knitting!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
