Sometimes you see dyed yarn and you wonder how it will look knitted up.  Well, I can't knit up every single colourway I dye, and to a certain extent how knitted samples look depends on the knitter's tension, how many stitches are used etc etc, but I couldn't resist starting a pair of socks in the Assynt Tweed yarn which I have been dyeing recently.   Some of you may remember these red shoes, so I thought it appropriate to use some of the Lipstick Tweed to make myself some red socks.

I really like the way it is knitting up:



The effect is very subtle - far more subtle than it looks on the hank.
