This is a great plan for 2015! The bonus is that you'll have 12 pairs of nifty toe warmers by the time the holidays roll around once again. I do something similar, but I skip the bags. I reach into the sock yarn stash bin and knit up whatever comes out. It is always a surprise!

I'm a toe-up kind of gal. I rarely knit cuff down anymore (unless a pattern is too much work to convert). I never could get the tension right for the cuff and the socks tended to be a bit on the tight side when I put them on because of that. I love toe-ups. I also love a good gusset heel, which is easy to stitch when knitting toe-up.

Nice job on those socks and good luck for the year ahead! I'm looking forward to seeing your monthly creations.
