Many of them are meant to be family Christmas presents, but sure. Though it's easier to say "I want *particular* socks" and then they go on the queue pre-assigned so other people can't yoink them in progress :)

This pair shumashi claimed when I was complaining bitterly about how much the socks hated me, and said she liked them. Of course, then she forgot about it when I hadn't finished them for six months...
