Same Dyelot?????



These were to be a gift , but turned out so different even though marked as same dyelot and of course it's discontinued. Started off the same put so put the first one away as did not want our new cat to run off with it. Took the other to work and continued on my merry way although had a bit of a niggling feeling , didn't get the first out till finished the second and wall-ah. This was a second pair , first was a different colour but same sort of variegation , they turned out nearly identical , no solid striping at all . Glad I wasn't making a jumper.So gift wasn't sent , looks like some frogging and a beanie are on the cards. Finally got back to flurries and had success with pattern , only to find I had to go up 2 needle sizes to get a lacy effect and then decide the pattern was totally lost in the variegated yarn , so more frogging and another pattern to find for the yarn so Mum gets her promised scarf. Think my knitting is reflecting my overall mood , still working heaps and really over it. Hopefully DH gets a positive outcome to an interview with an agency this week, thinking a 3 day week sounds good.
