Well, these socks and the first pair and the next however-many coming up are all your fault. I was happy making afghans until you started talking about this self patterning yarn! I'm doing a pair with the jaquard pattern next. The colors aren't nearly as fun as these.

You are right though, not only do women get to wear better colors but once you get my age people think anything weird you wear is cute. Gives you a lot of lattitude. Which is good because also at my age it's really hard to knit dark colors.

I haven't seen the Koigu yarn. You are really costing me money...

Oh those are so cute! Lovely. Anyone would be so thrilled to wear them!!

I have subscribed to your color clothing theory for a while now. I love that the more I mature the more I don't give a shit what others think as I dress, live and express joy over things I love!

Thanks! Can't wait until it gets cold enough to wear them!

Oh, wow! Nice.

And darnit, you're making me want to learn to knit again. ;) Already have too many hobbies...and had such trouble the one time I did try.

I agree with what you said about getting to the age where you can wear weird things and people think it's cute. I was thinking that these socks would look great with my Birkenstocks. heehee

I am not big on poetry, but there is one verse that I learned long ago and, fortunately, lived to try it out and it works!

It starts:

WARNING
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me.

Thinking about it this morning I googled it and found a whole website! When I am an old woman

Yes, I know that poem but I didn't know they had a whole web site! wow thanks :)
