Okay, here's my problem. The March socks that I am making are for Timmy, make out of Knit Picks Imgination Handpainted in the Pirate King Colorway. First sock finished. Looks great! The yellow pops out at you..Second sock halfway finished. I am knitting the heel flap. The problem has become very apparent. The navy blue pops out and the yellow is receding. Two different balls and it looks like two different socks. One darker than the other. I am not a happy knitter. These huge man socks have been alot of work. He will only be able to wear them as house socks. Last week, the swift that I ordered fro knitpicks came and broke with the first use. I called customer service, spoke to a lovely woman who sent me out another poste haste. It arrived In 2 days. I am happy to say after several uses the second swift is working perfectly.
I just got home from Woolbearers in Mount holly, NJ. As usual, I found lots and lots. I got 3 skeins of beautiful, lovely Kauni. One in shades of pink, and two in beiges and a pinky lavender. They will make a gorgeous shawl. Also got some premier and some classic silk. Also a box of sock and lace rings and a set off HiyaHiya 9inch circulars in stainless steel, size 1. As usual, shopping at Woolbearers is a positive experience. I love looking at the wall of Cascade 220. The colors are so beautiful and just looking at them calms me.
