Jaywalkers that don't suck
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!
