Here is a shot of the Jaywalker in progress. I’m a little bit further along than the picture shows. I knit on the sock while we were traveling back from my mom’s house Easter weekend, and I’ve knit on it a bit this week. I am at the toe. I think I just have to knit a few more rounds before I start the toe shaping.
The fit of this Jaywalker is a little different than the ones I knit last year out of Lornas Laces. This sock is looser. I’m using the same needle size as before but different yarn. It still will fit great, just different than the others. I guess I should say I rarely, if ever, do a gauge swatch for a sock. I’ve never had an issue with a sock fitting before; I seem to have a good sense if it’s going to work for me or not. Just watch, I say that now and I’m going to get slapped by the sock knitting goddess for my smugness.
I’m going to warn you now. Hide your credit cards. I heard about this new shop on the most recent LnV podcast. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw some of the yarns for sale here. Woolgirl.com–I drool. And, I’m not going to share my favorites with you. If I decide to buy anything, I want it to still be there. I’m selfish that way.
The sock looks great! I’ve just about worked myself up to trying my first pair. I have the yarn – I just need to do it.
I probably should wait until I get my bonus check to look at the yarn link…that way you have a chance to get yours before I buy it all up right? 🙂
The Jaywalkers look great. Hopefully they will fit fine when you are done.
I have been to the Woolgirl site and boy do they have lovely things. I agree that I will have to hide the plastic. A girl could go crazy there.
