Jaywalkers on Vodka
I know, I am SOOOOO behind the curve. This is my first pair of Jaywalkers (and I assume no one needs the link to the pattern). The yarn is Yarntini Cosmopolitan from Pure Knits.
I added the picot cuff and knit the small size on magic loop rather than dpns. Otherwise there were no modifications – well other than that one heel thing. I compensated for the slight variation by knitting the second sock just a bit shorter so the toes would be the same (we’re talking an 1/8 of an inch or so).
And I ended up with just a bit of yarn left over
I’m pretty pleased with how they turned out, and I’m really pleased to be able to say I finished a project. Finally.

Those are fabulous jaywalkers! Great yarn, and good idea about making the toes match. Oh, those ingenious knitters!

If it makes you feel any better, I have never knit jaywalkers! So you are ahead of me.
These are adorable. They’ll be fun to wear!

You’re ahead of me too – I’m a Jaywalker virgin. (is that ok to say?) I never get tired of seeing them, though – such a great pattern and the yarn is sweet! I’m digging the picot cuff.

Sorry for the earlier comment, that’s the downfall of having several tabs open at once I was leaving a comment on a different blog regarding Barbara Walker. Feel free to delete it. Your Jaywalkers turned out very pretty.

They look great! And don’t feel bad. I haven’t knit Jaywalkers yet, but I finally ordered the yarn so I’ll be starting them soon.
