I’m thinking about my sock pal, and she sounds a bit more fussy than me.
I don’t think I am identifying her in any way when I frame her request like this:
| girly = bad | bold pink = good |
| teal = bad | blue = good |
| pastel = bad | green = good |
So given that - what do I choose?
Would you throw out a pair of handmade socks that had some bold pink but a couple of pastels too?
What about a pair of hand painted socks that were primarily green but had a hint of teal?
Would you go with something totally not girly and mix up some Koigu in autum colors or with a Twinkletoes in shades of deep red?
What would you do?
In other, knitting related news, I actually finished my Interlacements shrug and am in love. The shrug may become my Jaywaker (ala Cara). I will debut it on Sunday at the Boston Olympic Closing Ceremonies event.
Speaking of Olympics, I’m on goal for the move your bottom challenge, but gave up on muffy the ear warmer as totally impractical. Instead, I reverted back to the February Finish it or Forget About it challenge from last year and am cleaning out my WIP basket - ripping or finishing and am looking for gold as I finish the cast of of a mini-pie alpaca brown shawl.

I’d go for the green. That or the deep red. I kind of agree with your pal’s color descriptions. Although I lurve me some hot & bright punk-pink, pastels do nothing for me. (Ergo, no to the Hydranga.)
But I’m sure that she’ll love whatever you knit for her.
