After trying out 2 socks on one circular needle, during which I became rather confused and my knitting muddled, I decided to try another tack on second sock syndrome. Now I divide the skein into 2 balls, start one sock and continue until a change is needed. I then go back and bring the second sock to that change point and then go on with the first, bringing the second up to it each time. Much more interesting with the results that both get done almost at the same time.
Here is a link to instructions for casting on to knit 2 socks at once on one circular needle.

All our colorways are created in small dyepots containing only 2-3 skeins each. While we use the same dyes to color each lot of a particular colorway, we cannot guarantee a perfect match from one batch to another, nor do we number them. Part of the beauty of hand dyed yarn is the uniqueness of each skein, similar but not equal.
For a more overall blended effect we suggest: Socks: Wind the skein into a ball, knit the cuff of each sock first, then proceed to knit the heels and feet. Baby Sweater or other garments: Please purchase 2-3 skeins at one time to ensure your project is being made from yarn dyed in the same dyepot. When knitting or crocheting, use 2-3 balls, alternating in assorted rows of 2-6 each.
