New socks - yippee!
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.)

Those are adorable! Don't feel geeky, I made Univ. of TX Longhorn Socks in burnt orange and white.

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.
