did you miss me? i've been knitting, just too busy/lazy to post. also my laptop died a few days ago. i finished the jaywalkers that i started right after spring break. its a fun pattern, though they did end up a tiny bit too big. i used knitpicks undyed merino sock yarn and spent far too much time making it self-striping. the actual dying was fun enough - lots of walking around the dining room backwards and dying my fingernails blue. balling it required listening to all of rent and much stubborness. from now on i'm only doing variegated!
i only changed the pattern for the toes. i think the original ones are actually nicer, but this way mine are different from all the other jaywalkers
and what about that sock on the right? thats a finished (but unblocked) mini argyle sock. this is the first of the pair but the second one i've made. while i was in paris i finished one that i don't like because the gauge is too loose. maybe i'll post a picture of it and why i don't like it in a few days.
anyway, i really like this one...
