I started sock number 2 and I took great care to cast-on at the end of a dark aqua stripe so that the stripes would line up well. The third cast on was the charm.

I continued to knit from the top down and got to the heel. That seemed like a good time to hold the socks up next to each other and admire my stripe alignment…..RAT ON A STICK! They weren’t aligned. Somehow, the stripes were off enough to make me crazy and not enough off to look intentional or cute. I was in a state of severe irritation. Surely, the cheap sock yarn was a huge mistake! What could they be thinking to make yarn that was off in such a way!
\n
oh.

I wound the first skein on the sock winder and then decided it was more trouble than it was worth so I didn’t wind the second skein.
\nLooks like I could not have been more wrong. I am hugely bothered by this. My crocheting\/knitting friends assure me that no one other than me will notice and I should get over it; the socks are hand-knit.
\nI’m already strategizing my options:
\nA. rip it out – TH hard vetoed this idea.
\nB. make two more socks – one to match each of these.
\nC. get over it. As a matter of personal growth, I’m in the process of trying to go this route. We shall see.\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
