Jaywalking


A close up of the pattern ;D



I cast these on on Friday, they are Jaywalker socks by Grumperina, from Magknits (link on the right). The pattern is lovely to knit, its so easy, it is memorised by the 2nd needle and I really love the effect.
I am knitting them in Lorna's Laces, Hawaii colourway and I am really pleased with the results so far, the yarn hasn't pooled, which I was a little worried about. I am also using my 2.75mm Quills DPN's which I haven't used before and I really like them. They are slightly bendy which was weird at first but I am enjoying using them now :D

I love these socks! The colour choice is excellent. I would like to knit a pair of Jaywalkers for myself if I ever finish all the requests from other people!!

Those are absolutely lovely. The pattern so suits the yarn and colour you've chosen.

Oh that yarn is lovely! I've seen that color-way before, and it looks so much better knitted thank in the skein - a lot less white space than I had expected. I really must knit this pattern at some point!

Your Jaywalkers are looking great. I knitted my Jaywalkers in Hawaii too :-)
