That the naked eye can't see everything!
I pulled a skein of Lane Borgosesia Merino Otto Shadow in Rose Blossom a pretty tan with redish highlights off the shelf last week at Ewe Knit Kits & Yarn to swatch for the Highland Triangle Shawl from Cheryl Oberle's Folk Shawls. I liked the swatch (which became the beginning of the shawl) so pulled more off the shelf on Tuesday. I looked at the dye lot numbers and pulled the ones ending in a 9 or so I thought. Seems when you blur a 3 it sorta looks like a 9.
But I didn't notice the difference until I downloaded this picture just now
initial triangle
So I thought it was the camera/light because what is that yellow around the closet door? But no, the second picture taken on the kitchen floor shows the same.
stitches pickedup and 2nd edging begun
Now I'm afraid to go and look. That's 2 days work. 2 days sitting watching tv while Case Handyman Darin did this
I can reach the chains flatfooted!!!!!
Okay I looked. I can see it in some light. What to do what to do?????
I'm going to think about it. I'll let you know. Moral of the story: double check dye lots!

Overdye? You don't want to waste all that lovely work…
The stripes are even. Couldn't you get away with a striped shawl?
I have a newly installed ceiling fan, too. It's over the bed and is dubbed "the menopause fan."
