So, remember all that wangsting about modding sock patterns?



Turned out to be pretty much unnecessary. (In this case. I'm sure the wangsting will return at a future date for another sock project.)

After ripping out my first try, the modded try and then the simple stockinette swatch, all I needed to do was go from a US 1 (2.25mm) needle to a US 1.5 (2.5mm) for the cuff and then back down for the rest of the sock.

So, while in Kentucky, I finished off the first sock. And I was so incredibly smart that I forgot to bring the larger needles for the cuff with me.

Oh well, guess I have to start another sock then.



Woe is me.

Why, look at that. A finished pair of Jaywalkers.

Pattern: Jaywalker by Grumperina
Size: Large
Yarn: 1 skein Schachenmayr nomotta Regia Canadian Color in 4733 Ottawa
Needles: US 1

I started the second right where the first left off in the skein... and they unintentionally are a close match. That's kind of cool. Also, one skein of the Regia has enough yarn for a pair of 9" circumference, shoe size 11 socks. Glad I didn't have to break into the second skein.

Finding the ankles a bit stiff, but they might loosen up after a wash.
