Not sure what made me look down and notice I had one brown and one black. I don't think it would have been seen as a groovy fashion statement. I like the idea of the little miss matches, but I want to see them first--a lot of socks are too synthetic-y for me.

Looking at the mismatches, I really need to do some sock shopping! And I thought I was being daring with my tie-dyed socks. Looking at the mismatches, I really need to do some sock shopping!

I know many knitters who are very particular about both socks having matching stripes. Me? I don't care if they match! I knit and I love knitting with crazy stripey yarn.

Just the other day I was snickering at my (occasionally absent-minded) teenaged niece for wearing unmatched socks - well, did I ever feel incredibly uncool *gasp* at having missed the early warning signs of this oh-so-sensible fashion trend! Long live the odd socks phenomenon, sez I - because I've got a whole drawerful of them! And you know what, guys?

I first heard about it in Seth Godin's talk at Google HQ. He used it as an example of viral marketing -- taking something ordinary like socks and turning it into a talking point. I am off to make a sock monkey now. My friends are going to be <em>so</em> jealous. Thanks! I just love the little miss matched idea. I first heard about it in Seth Godin’s talk at Google HQ.
