Argh (yarn diet)

[ghoti_mhic_uait]

I really want to make (and wear) these socks in this yarn, and according to the letter of my diet, I'm allowed to buy it, it's sock yarn; according to the spirit, too, because I'm attempting to use up all my 'I'll use it some day, it's pretty' purchases, and this would be on the needles straight away :)

Yet somehow I still feel guilty about the idea of buying it...

Update: Colin says I'm allowed to fill the house with socks so long as some of them fit him. So I've made a vaguely realistic bid on the yarn, but don't expect to actually get it.
