That's a pretty special gift. Given its smallish g amount are you doing a small project per month or building up a singular product and adding each month?
I’m deciding that for each batch as it comes. Overall it’ll probably be many smaller projects since I don’t have a big project picked out. This one immediately said socks for me, and since I typically use 60-65g for my socks I should have just enough.
The January-February colorway that came (the 50g mostly dark blue with the 20g being orange) would be perfect colors for my dad. But his feet need more than 70g of yarn. That yarn is hanging out until I decide if I want to add a 3rd color and make him some socks, or if it ends up in another project.
