yarn pirate!

am i some kind of addict or something? i'm blaming it on friday afternoon boredom...but i just bought some more yarn pirate yarn, in 'koi.' i love this even more than clementine, which is probably waiting for me at home right now. oh the excitement!

i can see this yarn being perfect for a pair of socks for my brother...i saw it and immediately thought of him. but what sock? there are a few in 'knitting on the road' that might work. any suggestions for a good boy sock?

i PROMISE this weekend to post something about actual knitting progress instead of just about the things i keep buying. this is getting ridiculous!
