I find entrelac tediously boring. I imagine I'd get FSS (first sock syndrome) and never finish them.

I'm 65 (ouch), and one of my small pleasures is wearing fun socks, esp. with cats. If I'm wearing socks, I'm not going anywhere too serious, so why not? Save yours for a day when you need cheering up or want to feel special in a secret sort of way. They're so pretty -- you'll really enjoy them. As I get older, I throw out more and more "rules" and still manage to look more than presentable and grown up when necessary. (I also live in Cambridge, Mass., where fashion is construed very loosely.)
