Chameleon Socks

woman's size 10
June 2018
As I knit these socks, I was intrigued how the yarn seemed to change color depending on the lighting conditions. Under artificial light, it tends to be brown and gray, but under natural light it has more of a green tint. These are my chameleon socks -  pair #8 for the 2018 Box of Socks.

same socks - different lighting

            75% wool, 25% nylon

Needles: US size 2

Stitch Count: 64 stitiche - ribbed cuff, 60 stitches foot

  4. Oh my! Kinda like colors that change depending on what else you happen to be wearing.

    I'm way behind on my Box o' Socks - good thing I'm doing it for fun, and not trying to be "official"!

  5. That is interesting! I have made socks using that yarn and even that colorway and didn’t notice that. They are in Japan now so I’ll have to ask Alex to test them in different lighting! Ha! Great job on the box of socks! Eight pair by June is fantastic. Blessings, Betsy

  7. How interesting to see the color change. My last car had a paint color that did that. It looked beige in daylight and had a green tint under grey sky or at twilight.
