Mini-me Jaywalkers
Have just finished these - shortened Jaywalkers (pattern by Grumperina at http://magknits.com/Sept05/patterns/jaywalker.htm) as my fussy two aren't keen on long socks. DD2's are in pink Lana Grossa Magico and DD1 ordered hers in Lorna's Laces Aslan. Lorna's Laces is soooooo nice to knit with, I have forgiven it for its amazing pooling abilities! Although a self-confessed anally retentive sock knitter, I actually quite like pooling - feel it adds to the originality of the finished pair?? Isn't it amazing too how the same pattern looks so vastly different in another yarn?

Gorgeous Jaywalkers!! I must start mine!
Hope you are feeling less stressed today. Keep knitting - they are a great stress reliever!
Had really enjoyed knitting the Jaywalkers till today and had found it a really soothing, repetative pattern to master ... TILL the finished pink one was used by the puppy we are babysitting as a chewy stick!!*?*!! Will post the phot evidence later on today and the pup is going to feature in Crimewatch! Had got down to the heel turn of the 2nd one too!
I always find it exciting (sad life???) watching to see how the colours in sock yarn come out! And I love the Jaywalker pattern - must make some more of that one!
lol NOT sad at all, Daisy! I call it 'creative curiosity':) Have often forced myself to stay awake for another 10 minutes to see what happens next yarnwise...
I love the shorter jaywalkers - thanks for te tip! x
