I really think this is the prettiest sock I&#8217;ve ever knit.  So much so that I&#8217;m worried about starting the second.  As far as I can tell, there is no place where the colors repeat on this yarn, so they won&#8217;t match.  I don&#8217;t know why that matters to me &#8211; although I try to match socks with obvious repeats in the yarn, I don&#8217;t worry about it with variegated sock yarns &#8211; but it does.  I guess I&#8217;m worried that I&#8217;ll be three quarters of the way through the second sock and finally find the repeat point.  In which case, I wouldn&#8217;t rip it out, so I should just start it, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just in time for last week&#8217;s cold snap, I finished knitting my mitten-gloves!
