Since they're triangular with slightly different edgings, the shade difference between the skeins can be incorporated into the pattern.<BR/>If you have 700 yds, actually, I'd also say just make two pairs of socks, you'll have enough in each skein for a pair, no? Lovely yarn, btw!Prachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082327024433932581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25817999.post-54878196279999687052007-01-31T18:11:00.000-08:002007-01-31T18:11:00.000-08:00IT's not a free pattern and I don't know if you ar...IT's not a free pattern and I don't know if you are a shawl person but I love the Leaf Lace Shawl from Fiber Trends.

It's not really a pain and then you won't be able to tell it's two different dye lots.<br />I also like the idea of a clapotis or a lacy mini shawl.lobstahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781753673725251637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25817999.post-60783752257651205322007-01-20T20:41:00.000-08:002007-01-20T20:41:00.000-08:00Clapotis maybe?

It's much easier that the switching you do for pirate hats...although not so exciting as watching skulls appear before your eyes:-)<br /><br />You could make several pair of tiny socks if you know anyone little who would enjoy them. I imagine a skein would make 2 pairs of baby socks... some lucky baby would love them..Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392947672435635943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25817999.post-20662415030065142802007-01-19T16:18:00.000-08:002007-01-19T16:18:00.000-08:00Maybe you could switch skeins every inch or so.

I know that sounds like a real pain in the backside but I think it would look cool.Eric & Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14370389011804366681noreply@blogger.com
