….and pompoms too!
For the sake of simplicity I usually stick with supplier names & colors which results in such things as lime green & neon green being virtually identical…
pink, neon pink & fuchsia is another good example.
The orange that, up til recently, was the only orange our M line had was called tangerine by our sock makers, but I didn’t think it was bright enough for that name so I called it persimmon in all but one sock, the M Stripes, I think I liked the way blue & tangerine sounded together and stayed consistent with the black & tangerine stripes right below them. Then the new Super Stripes arrived, the goal being a red/orange combo, I chose tangerine, probably thinking about simplicity again (because I’m easily confused & have a ton to keep track of these days). But I didn’t post pictures for several days & a few people went ahead and bravely ordered this “new” color, not realizing it was the same old persimmon as the M Stockings, M40s and is just a bit brownish, sienna even. Today I added the pictures and got it pretty close, it was tough though, to get the red as bright as it is and make the orange less than as bright as it appeared in most of the images, thank goodness for photoshop!!!

I had an epiphany today and renamed the M Stocking category DreaM Stockings and switched them into the main sock section so that they will show up on the menu that is on the right side of all the sock pages making them easier to find and alot less confusing now that there are sooo many to choose from, it brings it alot higher up on the main sock list too and just generally makes alot more sense ~:)
More about the Uber cute new Pompom sock garters later…
