The first Noro Stripey sock was fabulous – the colours and stripes just played out perfectly. The toe ended on the yellow/orange part of the spectrum. I happily cast on for Sock #2. I did the ribbing, then started the stripes. But disaster! The yarn on both skeins was heavy on the orange and green; skein 1 was orange feeding into green for several stripes, then skein #2 was all green.
I like orange ... and green ... just not this much of it!
I pulled more yarn out to see if the colours were going to change again, but it was a sea of orange and green forever.
well, that's a little better
I yanked out enough yarn until it changed to blue and a different shade of green. Since this photo, I’ve done a couple more inches. But the stripes are not as defined as Sock #1. The colours for skein #2 have gone from blue to grey, and from skein 1 from green to blue. I hope it will get a little brighter and different shades completely so it will be more like Sock #1.
That would frustrate me to no end!
Contact your yarn shop. They may be willing to send you a replacement.
Somewhat frustrating, but knit ‘em up anyways. They can be your funky socks for days when everything is just out of phase.
