Hi Yall'
I'm Back and in Charge!!! I got pictures !
I finished these jaywalkers last week Sunday. It was a struggle to finish this socks for some reason. It took much longer than it needed to. I think I was sick of the color by the middle of the second sock.

These were the Jaywalkers I started right after I cast off on my first pair.
Some notes about these socks:
Yarn: Socks that Rock: Pebble Beach
Needles: US 1's
Patterns: Jaywalkers from Grumperina,by way of Magknits
Size: Small
As you can see by the pics, by the time I had turned the heel my socks had started to pool. Fortunately they pooled in the same way so that they still look alike. Woohoo! I am definitely going to make more Jaywalkers in the future.
So, as you can see from the Button on the side bar. I joined Sockpalooza 3. I have been through alot with these socks. First things first: The pattern I am using is Jeanie Townsend's Cascading Leaves. This is such and easy pattern to do and memorize.
The problem I had with knitting these socks is color choice, and when you are knitting socks for someone you don't know that is especially hard. How do you know if they will like the color you choose. That is the hardest choice for me. My pal said that she liked blues, reds and purples. So the first color I got was teal in Koigu, but then I thought it would be to bright for my pal. So I went back and chose another color for her and kept the teal for me. So it is coming along nicely. I finished one sock of each color and have cast on for the second sock of both socks. Here are some more pics of the socks:
Wow, it feels good to have my computer back and be able to post to my blog. Bye for now yall!
Oooh, your Cascading Leaves look gorgeous! Makes me want to get started on mine.
