SOCKS!!!!!!!

Oh how I love knitted socks. I don't know what I did without them! Fun to knit, funky coloured yarn, plus they're so warm and they fit perfectly!! Can't get enough.! Well, I managed to finish up two pairs of socks in as many days, so here they are: Traveler Socks Pattern: Traveler Sock by d-made Yarn: Paton's Classic Wool in Dark Natural Mix Started: Jan. 29, 2006 Finished: Feb. 1, 2006 Changes: I used my regular "Easy Toe" instead of the short row toe. Other than that, I made the pattern as written. Comments: Great stashbuster for worsted wool. And dang are these things ever WARM. I don't want to take them off! Jaywalkers! Honestly, I'd decided I was going to make these before the Jaywalker craze spread like wildfire over the vast plains of the internet. These were fun. Pattern: Jaywalker by Grumperina Yarn: Kool-aid dyed KnitPicks dye-your-own sock yarn (Kool-aid is FUN) Started: Jan 18, 2006 Finished: Jan 30, 2006 Changes: I went up a needle size and CO 68 sts instead of 76. This gave me a more flexible fabric that actually fit over my heel (a rather essential quality in a sock, n'est-ce pas?) Comments: What a fun pattern to knit on the bus. Super easy to memorize, but not boring. And it's just different than the usual chevron pattern.
