Inspiration needed

These are a pair of shorties that I knit ages ago. They are BFL from Monster Knits that I bought way back at their opening. My plan was to have a go at dip-dyeing, but I've been too afraid to try it since finishing them! My other problem is that I am way too indecisive and don't really know what to do with them. I decided on colours, then I think, no how about this? and then I think, well, how about that? and then I'm all confused and don't know what to do. What if I don't like it? What if I mess it up? I know I should really just go for it, and I better do it soon or they won't even fit M by the time I finish them. I guess the worst that can happen is that they'll end up being the next bub's shorts instead of M's. Sigh.
