A Sock Is Born

 

I've finished my first sock of the Mermaid pair, and started the second one.  I haven't gotten very far on the second one but for some reason it looks darker to me than the first one did.  There just seems to be less of the little white bits in it.  It doesn't bother me, and I've seen this happen before with handdyed yarns, it just seemed to get darker right after the ribbing. 

Who knows, it could lighten up a bit as I go on, or the whole second sock might be a darker shade than the first.  I guess it's just one of the mysteries of sock knitting. 

On an only slightly related note, does anyone else feel the need to knit more socks when the weather gets cold?

Have a great weekend!
