So, So Late

*Sockapaloooza Jaywalkers complete and shipped off.  And yes, they are a different sock yarn than I showed awhile back.

Stats:

Pattern: Grumperina's Jaywalker   

Yarn:  Debbie Bliss Merino DK      

Needles:  US#3 dpns      

Mods:  I attempted to give leg shaping, hopefully it worked, by decreasing halfway through the leg length to allow for a closer fit in the ankle area for my sock pal.

   

The color of the yarn is more like this  than some of the pictures look, a pale pink.  This was the first time I'd used any Debbie Bliss yarns.  I loved how soft it was but found the splitty nature of it to be frustrating.  Once I finally was sure about this pattern, I still ended up ripping out each sock part way to fix loose loops from splitting.  (Maybe a little too obsessive?  Anxious?  Worried?)

I hope my sock pal likes them and they fit.  Knitting needles crossed!

*Sorry for the not so great picture but I was in a hurry and it's dreary/raining outside.

These look great! I have just finished some jaywalkers too and had a hard time until I found my groove. Yours look terrific- such even and smooth stitches :)
