The jury's still out on this one...

Check out these boots K and I saw at Nordstrom last night.

On the one hand they're orange! And knit! And I actually think they're pretty damn cute, and I couldn't actually make them myself unless I wanted to get into the art of sole-ing shoes.

But, the yarn is probably crappy acrylic and unbreathable. And $80?! These things are basically legwarmers with feet. Heehee.

I mean, I'm not buying them anytime soon. But I do find myself strangely attracted to them.

And for those wondering where the actual knitting content is, well I don't have much progress to show. I will only say that I'm approximately a sixth of the way through a new project that I think is really cool but can not be shown. That has taken over the London Pride unfortunately. But not to fear, I *will* get back to that because I'm still in love with it.

Oh yes, and if you want to see the best wedding stole shot of the bunch, take a looky here.

Great shot of the stole!

Legwarmers with feet... isn't that like tights? ;)

Great stole shot indeed.

Those boots are not worth it. Really. The color is great though.

Ok, A) you should buy those boots. They are too cute! Fine, they are just legwarmers with soles, but they are fabulously kitchy & fun. This is the year for knitted accessories! Don't listen to Monica. (sorry monica!)

And B) you look so happy and beautiful with your fabulous stole. Wow. Congratulations (I think I forgot to say earlier..) on getting married in some very fine looking style.
