I just HAD to start a new sock project... always gotta have a pair of socks on the needles. I was at Simply Fibers last Saturday dropping off some BEAUTIFUL new yarn I dyed (hint to Springfieldians!) and I saw the new shipment of Lorna's Laces! This colorway is technically called "Bee Stripes," but I saw it and immediately thought: MIZZOU
For those of you who aren't from the Midwest... that's the nickname for the Missouri Tigers (Univ. of Mo.), my alma mater.
I usually go to the games and tailgate with my family a couple times each football season, and people go all out with black and gold everything - from their clothes to their cars. I just think the idea of stripey socks - tacky as they are - is perfect for that atmosphere!
(You might have noticed this is my second attempt at the Jaywalkers. I think they're fitting better this time... but I really won't know until I get to the heel.)

That yarn is perfect!
Very cute socks! :)
Those are adorable! Don't feel geeky, I made Univ. of TX Longhorn Socks in burnt orange and white.
*L* They are going to be perfect : )
Oh, how cool is that? And the Jaywalker pattern gives the yarn just the right amount of sass! You'll be the envy of all the tailgaters this season. I have the Jaywalker on my list of "to do", but am making myself finish some UFOs first.
