- the mismatch pair
This is an Opal yarn that I have had since (at the latest) 2000. One sock is knit longways from the original Opal sideways pattern. I don’t care for it, so I knit the second as a normal sock. That is not to say that I don’t like the colour, I just don’t like the back and forth. Once you have grafted something like this, it will never bother you again.
