You can rip it and use the off-colored skein for the ribbing where it won't show so much. You can make sure the other sleeve/shoulder are knit the same way and make it a feature. You can overdye the whole thing when it's done so everything matches. You can complete it and wash it, hoping that it bleeds and the color evens out (and then overdye it if it doesn't). My sympathies - this is a tough situation to deal with!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28900392.post-1161972116427438232006-10-27T14:01:00.000-04:002006-10-27T14:01:00.000-04:00Thanks everyone!

Maybe my neighbor? Who will ever after know I'm nuts? <BR/><BR/>I might also just re-do following Rose's every two rows and see if that works... and then I will probably hunt for dye lots.Lazulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05190270995311616124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28900392.post-1161965268025411562006-10-27T12:07:00.000-04:002006-10-27T12:07:00.000-04:00I like Danielle's suggestion too.

In my experience, it seems like usually the knitter making the item in question notices the anomolies of yarn color or a pattern, and usually nobody else even suspected something was "off". (In my case, it was an error in a cable pattern that I didn't notice until it was too late to fix.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28900392.post-1161957936041640852006-10-27T10:05:00.001-04:002006-10-27T10:05:00.001-04:00I agree with Danille.

Unless you do worry about it. In that case, you might need to re-knit the sleeves. Here's a tip I heard from my LYS owner. Knit with both dye lots by alternating balls of yarn every two rows. They'll blend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28900392.post-1161957919039004472006-10-27T10:05:00.000-04:002006-10-27T10:05:00.000-04:00I can't see it, but I'm a little blurry eyed.
