Jaywalkers on Vodka
I know, I am SOOOOO behind the curve. This is my first pair of Jaywalkers (and I assume no one needs the link to the pattern). The yarn is Yarntini Cosmopolitan from Pure Knits.
I added the picot cuff and knit the small size on magic loop rather than dpns. Otherwise there were no modifications - well other than that one heel thing. I compensated for the slight variation by knitting the second sock just a bit shorter so the toes would be the same (we're talking an 1/8 of an inch or so).
And I ended up with just a bit of yarn left over
I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out, and I'm really pleased to be able to say I finished a project. Finally.

Those look absolutely fabulous! Stripes rock!

Those are fabulous jaywalkers! Great yarn, and good idea about making the toes match. Oh, those ingenious knitters!

If it makes you feel any better, I have never knit jaywalkers! So you are ahead of me.
These are adorable. They'll be fun to wear!

You're ahead of me too - I'm a Jaywalker virgin. (is that ok to say?) I never get tired of seeing them, though - such a great pattern and the yarn is sweet! I'm digging the picot cuff.

Sorry for the earlier comment, that's the downfall of having several tabs open at once I was leaving a comment on a different blog regarding Barbara Walker. Feel free to delete it. Your Jaywalkers turned out very pretty.

Those are awesome! Love the colors.... And you're not the last person to knit Jaywalkers - I'm waaaay behind. Without a monkey sock to show for myself, either! :)
