Do not adjust your monitor...
The truth is I love learning my lesson the hard way - I mean I learn something, right? And chances are it won't happen again...
I got my second Pomatomus done...do you notice a little difference between the two? Doh! I swear these two Interlacement skeins were of the same dye lot! What happened? One was reskeined, one was not - ah - tricky. The weirdest thing is, well, I didn't notice the difference until I had the second sock done. Well, good thing I'll be wearing shoes, no one will know but me - well, and now you - but you won't tell right?
I still think the pattern was awesome and love the optical illusion-ish quality of the finished product. I may even knit it again - but with the same yarn next time. Bah.

They're gorgeous. And who decided socks have to match anyway?
They're lovely and you can't tell with the shoes on. I am the same way. EVERYTHING has to match perfectly! You did a great job!
Funny, but they are nice looking socks.
I love the mismatchedness! Have you ever seen Little Miss Matched socks?....I love those too!
They are bright, but I love them! Nice!
Oh I love 'em... but then I have a thing for fraternal twins. (Tangent, but related: OMG, do you know of Camper shoes? They have a "Twin" line that is the coolest! Sooo expensive, though.) The look a little like you inverted the colors. Man, Pomatomus is such a great pattern, maybe I should make another pair...
Well done!
They are fun!
How weird is that???? What's up dyelot?
I love them. They're gorgeous and in shoes you can't even tell.
And they look great with the shoes!
I think they are better this way. Who needs perfectly matching socks anyways?? They are gorgeous fraternal twins!
Oh ouch, I hate it when stuff like that happens. I'm sure my turn will come. I have to be careful choosing a brown Koigu out of my stash as there are a couple variations in there. They're gorgeous anyway!
ooh i love funky socks and even better when they don;t match!!
They were the same dye-lot? What's up with that?
Still cute though! Fun and bright!
Ah, that's what makes them handmade and interesting!
With shoes on, you can't even tell! I am glad you liked the pattern, it's next on my list.
Yeah, I think there's always variations in hand painted yarns... But I'm not sure what the problem is here: one skein has a darker blue than the other? Your Pomatomi look great!
Those socks are breautiful. If they were perfect they wouldn't be hand made.
They are STUNNING! And, with your shoes on you cannot even tell the slight color difference. Bravo!
Another masterpiece! Hey they are super cheerful socks and a very pretty pattern:)
I agree with the others --the difference is bearly noticeable once you have your shoes on:)
They're absolutely spectacular! And the cute little Mary Janes show them off perfectly. Well done, you!
I sat next to a woman wearing those same clogs the other day and I really wanted a pair. Now that I see your clogs I might just have to go and get some right away.
Love the socks.
I had that happen to me with tiny toes before...I think it's the dyer/dying process... I still love them! :)
Awesome socks! Strange thing about the dye lot. But I agree with the masses....you can't tell when you put those great shoes on.
And BTW - the socks look great with the black - really shows off the handknits well!
Love the pattern and the combo with the non matching same dyelot yarn
The same or not, they are gorgeous! And love the shoes!
my kids wear mismathecd socks all the time! haha!
No matter what - sockes turned out great! Your feet are happy, right? Right!!!!!!
Once I was knitting a sweater for client - the yarn was from the same dye lot!!!! At the end - after sweater was finished - I realised - some skeins gave bit darker shade! Luckilly, it was cotton so I hand dyed the sweater!
Wow, I'm sure that's frustrating, but they're gorgeous anyway! That pattern is on my list for someday.
Those shoes are awesome for handknit socks!
Stunning, even in their fraternal state!
They look great and the shoes really hide the difference.
Awesome - HAPPY BIRTHDAY
How fun are those socks?! I love the colors.
