The vagaries of variegated yarn...

Well, sock one is nearly complete; the heel is done, and I'm just working on the top part of the sock now. But I noticed something. Look closely at the two socks. Look at the foot of the complete sock. See the pooling/flashing? See how that's not there on the ankle part? Now, look at the incomplete sock. The pooling isn't there on the foot, but you can just see that it's there on the ankle that I've just started!

Ah well, such is life... I hope my pal likes fraternal twin socks.
