Just in case you were wondering, these are NOT my socks. I wish! But it does prove the point that they ARE possible. But not for me, right now. (this particular pair was knit by heylucy – I found it on flickr.)
Thank you all for the comments, I really appreciate the guidance. I do think I’ll knit the Jaywalkers again at some point, and I will definitely go about it a little differently next time.
I’m considering the possibility that the yarn I’m used was a hair too thin, combined with my ill-fated choice to knit the smaller size, and possibly needing to use a larger needle size. Anyway… note to self: knit a gauge swatch next time!
Moving on…….
I met up with Brianne last night at Panera for a little knitting and catching up. She found a cute pattern for a vest to wear over a dress shirt that I think I will make for myself out of that Cotton Fleece that has been hanging around my stash begging to be knit.
This weekend, I’m headed to Kansas City for a low-key bachelorette party for my sister, plus a visit with my friend Jill from law school. And I might just pop in to Yarn Shop & More, a yarn shop in Overland Park KS where my sweet sis got by copy of MDK autographed. Fun times! I promise lots of pictures when I return!
Cute tank, I’ve been thinking about doing something along those lines as well. I’m in need of more professional looking clothes very soon and that over a button down looks so sharp.
LOve, LOVE that purple outfit. Too bad you’ll have to wait till fall to wear it!
I have admired that vest many times – very nice! Have fun with your sis this weekend!!
Love the socks… they remind me of green eggs and ham!!! lol. Hope you have fun in Kansas City. I’ll see you on Monday evening.
Have a great weekend.
