They were started late, but March's socks are finished. Yes, Yes, they do look a little different, don't they?!
They are a perfect example of why one needs to check DYE LOTS on the yarn label. I remember purchasing this yarn on vacation- on our way to Myrtle Beach, years ago, in a lovely yarn shop in Hendersonville, NC. My Hero coordinates our pit stops with yarn shop visits if at all possible, and I remember this was one of those. And that despite all reassurances that I could "take all the time" I needed, I KNEW there two children and a husband anxious to get back on the road and get to the beach. Obviously I skipped the "check the dye lot" part of my yarn purchase.
I'll keep this odd pair for myself. My feet and I won't mind the slight difference in color, and the socks will still be just as warm.
Love,
Kim

that's a GREAT header picture!! made me laugh. ;)
Heh Kim, I have actually been kniting two socks at once on the long circular and have intentionally been starting sock #2at a different section of yarn so I get a variance. I love them this way. You can tell they match but they don't look like something commercially made.
Didn't you just start those??? Love the uniqueness of the socks.
The socks are great anyway! I love that your other half will actually coordinate pit stops with yarn stores. He's a keeper :)
