I finally felt ready to tackle the Jaywalkers over Labor Day weekend. I hadn't touched them in months because I'd discovered a second mistake I'd made, one I wasn't willing to live with. I was afraid I'd have to start the sock all over but actually managed to rip it back to the scene of the first mistake, which was in the gusset, and put it back on the needles. The sock flew from then on and I love the way the yarn (Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Icehouse) patterned. I used size 1 needles and the larger (84 stitch CO) size. They're not all that easy to slip on, but they fit well once I get them over the heel.Closeup photo, not so true coloring:

Yeah, I'm jealous.
That's the yarn I bought for you last Christmas, right? A good choice if I do say so myself.
Heh, these weren't the ones I was talking about, but you can be jealous of these ones, too. Yes, it's the yarn you got me and it's just so cool in this pattern.
The socks I thought you might be jealous of were pictured in the Aug. 23 post and I took more pictures to post later. They're for Tasha--I sent them off today (shh!). They're brown, blue, and white (and cotton).
