Toe-Up Jaywalkers

Toe-Up Jaywalkers

These are my fourth completed pair and I'm still on target for my goal of one pair per month! I know I'm a little late to the Jaywalker party. I'd previously made a start on these a few months back but frogged them when I realized they were never going to fit over my ankle. (The pattern is notorious for its lack of stretch.) I later decided to use the toe-up mod instead, so I could better judge the fit and length as I went along. The yarn is Vesper Sock Yarn in the "Tartan" colourway, which I thought would suit the zig-zagginess of the pattern nicely. I knitted them two-at-a-time on two 2.75mm circs, and I used Judy's Magic Cast-On to start the toe. The zig-zag pattern is actually really easy to do and takes two seconds to memorize, but it does make for some odd pooching where you switch from zig-zag to straight stockinette. The worst part of the construction was trying to figure out where to start the gusset increases; the pattern doesn't really tell you so I had to guess and I ended up reknitting it three times. The reverse turned heel is very nice though, and it seems to be a good fit. I'll give these an 8 out of 10!

Jaywalkers Completed

It took me two months, but they are finally done:
Jaywalkers, with Sullivan's Sock Yarn. Note they are not on my feet - this is because they won't stretch over my heels. Further ranting on my blog.

Jaywalkers in Tofutsies are done!!!!
Even though these socks are of a good length, there was quite a lot of yarn left over, will have to see what I can do with it later.

Next sock two (toe up neverending socks). amd yes that means sock one finally ended.
