Are 14 Pairs of Boots Too Many? Posted by Hello
I know you can only see 13 pairs but I couldn't find the black suede ankle boots. So the question is "how many pairs of boots/shoes is too many?" I am a shoe/boot-aholic, or am I? Most women I know seem to have a lot of footwear. They almost all serve a purpose (I admit there are two or three pairs I haven't worn in a couple of years but I just can't seem to justify getting rid of them). Why are women like this? My husband seems to get by just fine with two pairs of boots so why do I need 14?

Knitting? oh right, this is a knitting blog isn't it? Fantastic, most of my Christmas knitting is done and just have to fringe the shawl and finito. I caved on Saturday at Village Yarns and bought my Silk Garden #34 that I have been panting after for months. Decided to make a scarf for myself with it. I am doing the Farrow Rib again from The Little Box of Scarves and it is looking beautiful. Anxious to see how my knitted items go over with the recipients. I think I knit six items this year for gifts. Not bad for an amateur I guess. May post some pics later if anyone is interested.

Shit, this could be a problem

I only have two pairs of boots -- one "nice" pair with a heel that I can wear with skirts, and one warm pair that I can trudge through deep snow with. But I really, really, really would like to have more -- unfortunately the budget (hah! like I budget!) won't cover it.

I didn't catch the shoe fetish from my Mom. I only have one pair of Blundstone boots. I often drool over nice footwear, but don't usually purchase them. I don't know why
Are you really Bree?
Oh and did you catch the Midsomer Murders series? I love watching summer in England when my toes are freezing. Perhaps I need another pair of boots?
