a dilema

so i usually meet a friend on thursday nights to knit and last night i was looking for something to work on and pulled out my Leg Cozies. ya, i had to unravel the few inches that were there because i was clueless as to where i was in the pattern (and i'm pretty sure i'd messed up along the way) but i was fine with starting over. then i started thinking - am i really ever going to wear leg warmers? i already have a pair and i hardly wear them...but these would be lighter - maybe perfect for seattle's spring/summer. and i already have all the yarn. hmmm...what else could i make with Lang Yarns Jawoll Color? well, i could try socks. i never thought i'd want to knit socks before - i thought they were boring - but there are some really pretty patterns out there and it seems like a decent project that could actually get finished in a reasonable amount of time. so i started looking on ravelry just to see what was out there and i found Hedera. yes, i've seen the pattern before but like i said, i wasn't into socks before, so i just ignored it. now i don't know what to do? knit something frivolous and fun? or something practical that i know i'll use and probably learn from?
