Finally one done right…oh wait

So I finally got a square done the way I wanted to. Cast on properly, got the ridges down, the sizing is good, (went down 2 needle sizes) then I decided to compare it to the previous squares. Funny, it’s a slightly different color. (You’ll never be able to tell from the photos, we have horrible lighting, and the flash muddies the stitch definition—what, it’s a cheap point-and-shoot camera.) This is all odd, because I know I’m using the same yarn—it must be a really big difference in the dye lots. I’m generally against matching dye lots. I like the look of things as the colors fade at different rates. I go and grab the band just to check. Oh, this isn’t the Allround I’m using for this. It’s Universal. It’s 100% polyester. That would explain why it’s so shiny. And you know, I spent the entire time knitting this thinking, “wow, this is really shiny. Like it’s polyester or something”.
Le sigh.
I’m definitely going to have to re–do this one. I couldn’t take having one square be a completely different color/fiber.
Le sigh.
At least it’s easy to knit.
