Jaywalkers



I was beginning to think I'd never get back to these things. I cast on in either november or december, can't remember which. I was so anxious to use the long awaited sock pixie yarn that I ordered in the Sunset colorway. I rolled it into a ball right away and started making my Jaywalkers. Of course, other things got in the way, like my daughters' demand for more amigurumi animals, of course. And finishing my Chevron Scarf. Still, when I needed easy knitting I came back to the Jaywalkers. The pattern is great, smooth, and quick knitting even if I'm not. Second sock syndrome set in of course, but I finally got them done. I can see why other people have complained about them being hard to get on if done too small, so I knitted them up at a slightly larger gauge than called for. It worked out fine and now I have finished my 3rd pair of socks!
