Jaywalkers

Pattern: Jaywalker, by Grumperina
Yarn: Lorna's Laces, some lovely colorway
Needles: size 1 circs

They're done!

These are the ubiquitous and fabulous Jaywalker socks, knitted in some yummy Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock (I have no idea what the colorway is). The image is a little dim, but the socks are all blues and greens and browns. V. pretty. Here they are on the feet of Jan, my sock swap partner and recipient of the socks!

Stripey goodness, two ways!

(Um, I photoshopped my legs out in the pop up picture because I haven't shaved in a while. I know, I'm vain. But you didn't want to see, really.)

I used Bonne Marie's Sock Love pattern, and for the second sock, (which fits my extremely narrow 6.5 foot perfectly) I only cast on 64 sts. I think I've found a great sock formula for myself!

My First Socks

Yarn: Regia Yarn provided
Needles: size 1s dpns
Pattern: Combination, Bonne Marie's Sock Love and free Regia pattern

I am the proud owner of my first completed pair of socks.

Blue Stripey Socks, meet the world!

Hooray! Aren't they adorable? I'm full of sock pride today, so pardon me if I'm bragging. But my socks are so cute. I'm a little sad about sending them to their recipient, because that means I will have to part with them, but it also means that I have a pair of lovely handknitted socks coming my way! Yahoo! I used a combination of Bonne Marie's Sock Love Pattern (found here) and this sock pattern for Regia sock yarn. (Regia Sock Yarn provided by Miss Fabulous High Energy Knits Jenny (thanks!)
