Jaywalker Socks
I was going to show these off yesterday, but I learned an important lesson. Never take blog photos at 7:00 AM, before rushing to work. I *thought* the photo was fine, but when I went to upload in the evening I found it to be blurry and crappy. Unacceptable for rockin' socks such as my new finished pair of Jaywalkers...
Knitterly Details:
Pattern: Jaywalker by Grumperina (rav link)
Size: Small, I wear a size 7 US women's shoe
Needles: Size 1 US / 2.25mm
Yarn: Red Heart Ltd. Heart&Sole in colorway 3960 "Spring Stripe", roughly 1.5 skeins
The verdict a) It's very difficult to take nice pictures of your feet!
b) I have very white legs
c) I LOVE THESE SOCKS!
Detail:
If you try this pattern, which I would recommend, I would say this. The small is SMALL. Usually my socks end up a little loose-n-floppin'. These are very snug, and hug my ankles. If your feet are above a U.S. women's 7, then I would size up for sure!
I got second sock syndrome on these puppies big time, finishing the first in about a week in July and not finishing the second until now! HA! I'm glad that I persisted though, I'm happy with the result. What do you think?

there are no words to tell you just how impressed i am! wowzers!
They look fantastic!
I had first sock syndrome on my first pair ever. The second one went much faster... Apparently there is a technique to do them both at once but the magic loop scares the holy heck outta me....
Gorgeous!
My socks are always too tight! Think at some point I am actually going to have to knit tension squares!
They are lovely! And yes, it really is hard to take your own sock photos.
Gorgeous! The colors, the pattern, the texture, so lovely. I don't knit...yet. So to hear about second sock syndrome cracked me up.
