I’m Off

I’ll be on a plane heading to Austin in a matter of hours, so I’m going to keep this short.  I’m taking a boatload of school work on my spring break with me, but I’m hoping to get ahead on a few projects.  On the knitting front, after dropping five stitches at SnB Tuesday night, I tried on the Jaywalker.  Yes, the first one.  Yes, I"m still knitting it.  I couldn’t get it over my heel, but everyone assured me it would stretch.  If not, my UNM girly, R., has tiny feet.  She may be getting a cute pair of handknit socks.  I think my SnB friends were trying to keep me from having a Jaywalker meltdown.  But I’ll be ok.  Really.

I’m taking them with me on the trip, and because I’m such an optimist, I’m also bringing the Retro Rib sock pattern from IK Winter 2004, yarn and two US 2 circs.  That’s my Sockapaloooza project.  I’d best get started!  I’m also bringing the pattern for a cute felted bag.  See, I think I have a month off rather than ten days.  But let’s just see what I can accomplish.

I’ll try to post while I’m away.  If not, I’ll be back soon!

  2. You should have seen the catastrophes I had with my jaywalkers. I didn’t knit every other row, I just kept doing the pattern part and mine were soo tiny. I could get them over my foot but I had to like hold my breath and swear a lot. It wasn’t until I got done with the heel flap and started back around on the instep that I figured it out… DOH! But, as soon as I finished my first pair I cast on for my second!!They were my first socks. I LOVE them!!

  6. When I was at the heel flap I could barely get my heel/ankle through my jay, but they stretched a lot. They’re a little too big now.
