sockpalOOOza

so i've ordered my yarn, and its not here yet. i chose the free shipping method. ugh. i've chased 2 fedex trucks down the street already. i'm starting to understand the dog's hatred for those trucks. anyway. the knitpicks wool of the andes dye your own is on the way. now i have a question for you. i'm gonna dye this stuff and i'm having a terrible time choosing the colors! they have samples of the colors on yarn in this article from knitty. its at the bottom of the page. take a look and tell me what you think! i'm planning to do half the hank in one half in the other so it will pseudo stripe but you know its hard to tell what will happen when its knit so just pick your favorite combo! thanks for your input :)
