A bit of knitting Zen

Jaywalkers

I’m mad busy trying to get everything done in my office that needs to be done before I head out for a long weekend (a meeting with a playwright and SnB tomorrow, then Thursday we set off for Pittsburgh to take the Piss Crusader home and go to ESC’s reception), so today we have nothing more than a bit of knitting Zen. Enjoy.

River Run Jaywalkers, started July 21st, 2006, finished October 21st, 2006 on the way to Rhinebeck.  By wool, I was going to finish one pair of socks for Socktoberfest.
Pattern: Grumperina’s Jaywalkers
Yarn: Cherry Tree Hill Supersock, River Run colorway
Needles: US size frikkin’ 1 dpns (like knitting with toothpicks, y’all)
Dimensions: I have no idea. They fit my lovely size 7 1/2-8s beautifully.
Pattern Notes: I used one of the slightly larger patterns found here as these socks have absolutely no give to them since they’re knitted on the bias.
Would I knit it again? I already have, these are my second pair of Jaywalkers (the first pair I knitted for ESC). It’s so much fun to watch the colors change around the zig zags as they’re knitting up. But I learned my lesson the first time: no more Jaywalkers for anyone with bigger feet than me.

    Nice job. You owe me an email, though from this post, we may have to work something else out.

    I will never hear the end of it over those damned socks.

    I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW: I wore those socks all during the choir retreat and got mucho compliments on them. so maybe they were painful, but they are BEAUTIFUL.

    also, I am knitting a mens size 11 socks on size one needles right now, and it’s going alone just swimmingly. remind me to teach you continental when I see you this weekend!

    Very nice.
    You want, you can knit me a hat any time.
    I have a big head.
    Also, my cranium has a wide circumference.

    I need to learn how to knit. Mostly because I’m poor, it’s cold, and I need a sweater.

    But then I can go to S’n'B!

    Lisa~Do I get paid in cheap wine? ;)

    HOLY SHIT, THE RETROPOLITAN IS BACK! (How’s that for a welcome home?)

    Michael~I’ve heard that from a lot of guys. You know, the part about knitting them a hat.

    Regan~I can actually sort of do Continental. It’s just that my gauge is all wonky when I do. And I now see what you mean about the toes. However, I discovered that after I put my shoes on, it wasn’t so bad. I’ll wear them this weekend for kicks.

    Seamus~Happy Halloween to you, too. And it depends…how big are your feet? ;)

    Vince~We will talk.

    Those socks look comfy as hell. I might have to break down and try socks this winter.
