Tessellating Lace Sock colors?

Recently I have become addicted to the laptop. You might not notice it yet because... there have been a few completed projects and posts. But I have been floating around the web looking for new patterns and seeing who is up to stitching up cool socks and the patterns involved. You guessed it... I am becoming a Ravelry-aholic. I am who I am... you'll find me on Ravelry as "sockergirl." Upper case? Lower case? I am not a snobby about the "S"... but I might become snobby about my knitting. I'll apologize in advance.

The Sockapalooza socks are half completed :), which always makes me think about my next pair. I spotted the Tessellating Lace Socks at Kat's Knitting the Light Fantastic blog. (Sorry not sure how to link.) She designed some pretty socks and needed a knit tester. Since I need to get OFF line and do more around the house, like knitting, (not cleaning or painting the outside) I volunteered to test knit the pattern. Below is the sock Kat designed and knit: Nice knits! But the next question is.... which yarn should I make them up in? Let me know what you think. the yarns from left to right are: On-line cotton (red, blue, green, yellow) Opal (yellow black white) STR G-Rock (varigated purples, green, golds) Monarch Sport (local hand painted greens and yellows varigated?) and Opal (striped yellow gold blues.)If all goes well with the mash up madness, I will start the Tessellating Lace Saturday or Sunday?

I'm currently having a love affair with Fleece Artist, but since you didn't list that in your options I'd go with the STR.
