    I love your socks. Wondered if 'toe' socks would be uncomfortable. I might have to try some, my feet are always cold.

    Knot, thanks for the update.

    Those socks make me wonder though....if mittens keep your hands warmer than gloves, then wouldn't regular socks keep your toes warmer than toe-d socks??

    My thoughts exactly. Your toes actually keep one another warm. S'pose it's all about the delta between body heat generated and environmental temp. Someone clever-er than me will have to do this calculation.
    Also I grew up in my Grandma's hand-knitted (2 ply) woollen socks (short for summer and knee length for winter) so I would never find toed socks as comfortable. I don't find *any* socks as comfortable.

    All you need is love...la-dee-da-dee-da...all you need is love!

    I'm a barefoot kind of gal, and my toes like to be free. I'm also a very sweaty gal, and my toes seem to stay drier when there is fabric between them so they aren't sweating on each other.

    Haven't tried comparing the toe-socks to regular wool socks for warmth yet.

    But knitting socks is easy...
