D'oh!

So I started a project in which gauge didn't matter, thinking there was no way I could possibly mess it up. Everything was going along swimmingly: my fingers got to "know" the stitch pattern, and I almost never made any mistakes that required going back and fixing them.

But then this morning, as I started a second skein of yarn (having finished the first one last night), I realized, after knitting a few rows, that the yarns are different colors. This is a light-green yarn with a very mild color variegation, and I didn't think the dye lots would really matter with it. So I bought three skeins of this yarn over a three-week period (one skein per week, using a "get 40% off one item" coupon I got in the mail each week). But no, this second skein has a definite yellow cast to it. Sigh. It just won't work. Now I have to decide if I want to rip out this whole thing and do something else with this yarn, or try my luck at finding a matching skein at the store...
