Fashion Statements

I have had a shoe addiction a lot longer than I have had the yarn addiction.  I have gotten a lot more selective about when I indulge in the shoe addiction, probably because I have the yarn thing to distract me.

Recently I found the most "OMG I have to have them" shoes on sale:



No, I didn't actually go out in public wearing them with those socks.  The nice thing about working from home is that I can wear whatever strikes my fancy to work...

I also got the same shoes in a kind of peachy orange.  (Please remember that I live in Florida, so these are very practical colors, my black shoes just get dusty down here.)

And then I realized that my beloved socks don't really go with the shoes.  Therefore, I decided that I need to plan my sock knitting better.  So this is what I did today:



The Sanguine Gryphon Eidos yarn in Ion and Polimarchus



These work with both of the colors of shoe!



Itata yarn from Araucania



Wollmeise in Pfefferminz Prinz and Vergissmeinnicht.



Wollmeise in Frosch.



Calypso from Creatively Dyed Yarn.



Scarlett Fleece and Castle Fibers sock yarns.



Tausendschon yarns



More Tausenschon

How on earth am I going to decide which ones to do first?

Yes, this is how I spent my Sunday morning.  That, and working on this:



The "Embossed Leaves" sock pattern from the book "Favorite Socks" in Eidos yarn from The Sanguine Gryphon.  No one does green like Gryphon!
