I got "sock weight" yarn but they said I could just double it?

  Pretty! I know that when you double with crocheting, you just use two strands. I've done it with one solid and one variegated, but I don't know what it would look like with two sets of varying color at once.

  And I just sent you a totally unrelated PM.

  you could try to pull out the yarn so that you have the pattern matched up, and then start knitting with it.. otherwise yea, i'd imagine you'd have a mixed up look

  i could be wrong, but that's my guess

  What if I put a brown (solid) with it? I wish I could find a pic of what it'd look like!

  I think it would look good doubled with a solid brown, but the only way to know for sure is swatch... and yes, you just hold the two strands as if they were one strand. Doubled-over sock yarn is usually good on a size 6 or so needle.
