It’s been a while since I shared a knitting work in progress here, so I thought today would be a good time to do so.<\/p>\n

I am knitting a pair of Skews<\/a>. I’m using this pretty rainbow striping yarn, Regia in their Nation line:<\/p>\n

\"Skew<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

I ran into a problem with the first sock, so I thought I’d cast on the second sock while I mulled over what to do with the first.<\/p>\n

\"Skews<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

But I didn’t even finish the full set of increases on the toe before running into the exact same problem with the second sock.<\/p>\n

What? You don’t notice a problem? Let me give you a closer look:<\/p>\n

\"Knot<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Knot<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Yup. Knots.<\/p>\n

I realize that large manufacturers consider a knot in a skein not to be a big problem. (I’ve even heard of some companies that feel it’s kosher to give you a skein with up to three knots, but I think we all agree that’s beyond reasonable!) And I could live with it, except, you see, in the ROYGBV scheme of things neither blue nor purple immediately follow yellow.<\/p>\n

Yep, they cut out several colors when they tied them back on.<\/p>\n

So, here’s my dilemma. Do I suck it up and just knit on (yes, knitters, I would cut out the knots themselves, rather than knit them into my sock) and live with mismatched rainbows? Or do I cut out the length of yarn between the knot and the next repeat of the correct color, knowing this will mean shorter socks? We’re talking yards and yards here…<\/p>\n

Grrr…<\/p>\n

What would you do?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
