WTF Wednesday
so a couple of weeks ago, i started another pair of socks. green ones, for project spectrum.
the yarn is Opal Rainforest in Chameleon. so i knit one sock. put it aside, and started the next one, confident that the second one would match if i started the cuff at the same color repeat. because opal is a machine dyed yarn and all that. and sure enough. see how the stripes match up? i'm not normally OCD about striping, being ok with wearing fraternally twinned socks, but this matching made me happy.
la la la. i'm knitting along ... look how the heels match! excellent.
and then something weird happened.
WTF!!! see that aqua colored stripe? (and yes, i counted and recounted stitches).
my matchy socks RUINED!
DON'T GO THINKING THAT I'M NOT OUTRAGED! see? i'm even using double negatives!
but clearly not outraged enough to frog and reknit. stupid aqua stripe.
want details? i've raveled them.
