The sock has a lovely cable pattern, and I didn&#8217;t want a patterned yarn that might be distracting. Aha! I shall dye my own.<br \/>\nI perused my kool aid stash that <a href=\"http:\/\/yarnover.blogdrive.com\/\">Jill<\/a> sent me, and decided that it should be green &#8211; I have no green socks, and the bright green sock yarn that I bought a few weeks ago has been soundly claimed by my DH.<br \/>\nSo I went off to the local craft shop and got some Patons Patonyle in cream.

It&#8217;s a little too bright and patchy. Normally I would love it, I love variegated yarn, but the point was that I wanted solid colour for a change. Oh well, I&#8217;ll let it dry and start the socks, and see what I think then. Maybe I&#8217;ll love it after all.
