It's a Mystery

knit with Perth yarn
April 2021

Will the Perth yarn create a matching pair of socks? That is the mystery on my knitting needles. First impressions of the second sock's cuff give the indication the socks will be somewhat similar. Of course, that could change completely as I knit.

I love the gradual change of color in this yarn, but that large orange section is still a shock to my eyes. Maybe it won't be as glaring on the second sock.

  1. I'm totally intrigued and mystified how various yarn will stripe or pool, and how the manufacturer can design that when they don't know how the buyer will use it. Amazing!!

  2. Sometimes it's fun to watch that second sock emerge in it's own way. It can drive you crazy sometimes too but I think with that type of yarn it's going to look great no matter what happens.

  6. That first sock is so pretty Nancy. I like it! And I'm not a matchy-matchy person, so it would not matter to me if the second sock matches or not. That's the fun of it!

  7. I really like that first sock so the second is sure to be a stunner too. I usually don't care if the socks match unless I know it will bother the recipient, then I try harder. :-)

  9. Ha. I doubt it will
    Match unless you pull the thread to start at the same point in the yarn. It could surprise us. Keep working to unravel the mystery. Or maybe ravel the mystery!
