i want red socks

but i can't decide what yarn to use. here is a picture of the colors i am considering ... opinions?

so yeah, i 'saved' these from the dyers site, and made the collages in paint. i hope no one gets offended! :/

i am looking for a red sock yarn, not striping, with enough color depth/variation to keep it interesting. the dream in color swatches seem to show pinker and lighter then the examples i found on flickr. i do love the way the colors show in the DiC yarns though (currently using the classy 'cool fire' to make worsted socks). help! opinions needed! advice?

have yarn, but no plans

well sort of.
i have four beautiful hanks (soon to be pretty yarn cakes) of artyarns regal silk in the colorway 135 'sunburst', a gorgeous salmon, yellow, orange blend. i am thinking i would like to knit the picovoli. i am afraid i don't have enough regal silk, so i bought a cone of canary yellow silk (colourmart yarn) from a knitter on the elann.com swap board. i think i will add a simple boarder on the bottom edge and maybe crochet edging on the sleeves and neck. this would harmonize the whole shirt, as well as help counter-act the lovely curling of stockinette stitches.
anyone know is this is enough yarn? i figure it shouldn't matter too much, since i have the yellow to add to the length if need be. by the way, my full bust measurement is (i think) 43". so i am thinking the yellow is necessary, unless i want to show off my post baby, post getting fat, stretch marked tummy. i don't. also, i am in the process of loosing 60 pounds. i am down 20, with 40 to go. should i wait? or knit this fabulous top to fit me now? maybe by the time i loose all this weight, i will be such an awesome knitter, that frogging it and re-knitting a smaller size will be a cinch.

dreams baby. gotta have em.
