Maybe…
I suppose one doesn’t generally hang socks side by side and stare intently at them. At least I don’t. I tend to put them on my feet and go about my day. And while my feet generally remain in fairly close proximity to each other, they don’t actually spend a lot of time lined up awaiting examination.
Maybe I can live with it. If not, I’m now provisioned with a large supply of Kool-Aid packets in flavors that bear no resemblance to any fruit found in nature.
Maybe it’s the sunlight, but both the colors and the stripes seem more even in this pic. I used a skein of this same yarn for a wimple, and the color seemed a bit uneven even in a single skein, but it isn’t really noticeable in the finished object.
I agree with Barb that it isn’t quite as noticeable in this photo. Lovely pattern, BTW. I love your work and can’t wait for the book.
