Sockdown September: Ubiquitous Jaywalkers

Monday, September 03, 2007

At the start of Summer of Socks 2007, one of the goals I set for myself was to knit some of the super famous and popular sock patterns that were published while I was away from knitting for a couple of years. I've done Monkey, I've done Pomatomus -- now it's time for Jaywalkers.

The yarn was dyed by ME (!) using regular food coloring. I can't for the life of me get the photos to represent the colors the way they are in person. They're sort of bright. Like see-from-space-bright. You know that color in The Simpsons they use for the nuclear rods? Yeah, that bright. I'm surprised the socks don't glow in the dark. :D

Pattern: Jaywalker by Grumperina from September 2005 MagKnits
Yarn: 2 x 50g of Novita Wool (100% merino), dyed with food coloring
Needles: 3.0mm 80cm aluminum circular needle
Mods: Going toe-up (again), using sport/DK weight yarn in k-f/b, k6, dd, k6, k-f/b pattern (34 sts in instep, 28 sts in sole)
Other: Summer of Socks 2007 pair #6 (if I manage to finish before the deadline...), Sockdown: Ravelry September 2007 challenge (Grumperina or toe-up) pair #1
