I am cryin’ in my beer! 🙁 The new yarn is noticeably lighter than the old. In comparison, the old dye lot looks dirty, so I am glad that the new yarn is lighter and not the reverse, but it does mean I will need to start over — though the first 6 rows can be salvaged. Bummer! Thanks for all of your sympathetic comments, but really, I have no one but myself to blame.
Thanks, Mary Ann, for the speedy delivery! You rock!
PS: Katherine mentioned that some shops work together to find dye lots for customers. It is too late…already ripped and restarted. I had totally lost my mojo for this sweater, but I decided to dive in again last night and am glad I did. My knitting looks a little better. I think because I realize that this time it really counts!!
