I spread it out and showed it to everyone I could think of and asked them if they could see the mistake which was jumping up and down saying "look at me"! Nobody but me could see the mistake! I htink your colour match is so good that you can get away with it :).Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05597640040480685246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-32754044831235872762007-12-05T16:20:00.000-05:002007-12-05T16:20:00.000-05:00I like sheepish Annie's point about alternating th...I like sheepish Annie's point about alternating the two yarns in your knitting, and as others have said, the match goods good from out here. I've got my fingers crossed for you, but it seems to me that this could in the end be a detail that no-one else will see unless you point it out to them.<BR/><BR/>A further strategy - if anyone seems to be peering closely at the collar when you're wearing it, smile and distract them!!Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-80836818143014149442007-12-05T09:52:00.000-05:002007-12-05T09:52:00.000-05:00knit it on and have a look at it in daylight! it's...knit it on and have a look at it in daylight! it's only a neck rib - easiy to take out again, if you hate it!

To be sure YOU don't always notice the difference, perhaps the alternating that was suggested?CygKnithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08645020617293283071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-53457139913516915062007-12-04T21:01:00.000-05:002007-12-04T21:01:00.000-05:00I think you nailed it.

I think... Color and I have a sort of uneasy relationship so I often mix and match things that have no business being together. :)Sheepish Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564802976550099985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-62879744914522936682007-12-04T20:15:00.000-05:002007-12-04T20:15:00.000-05:00What if you did a corrugated ribbing, alternating ...What if you did a corrugated ribbing, alternating the two greens??Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432035940956042729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-29328382167669351312007-12-04T16:13:00.000-05:002007-12-04T16:13:00.000-05:00That is amazing!

Do that on a green row with a white row next so the whites show up as purl dots, perhaps. But swatch it first -- ribbing is tricky to keep stretchy when you start doing color work.<BR/><BR/>The sweater is terrific!
