Those "%$#$%^" Jaywalkers.. FINISHED...

I'm posting a picture of the Jaywalkers as PROOF that they did not beat me down into knitting submission.. I had one done and showed the knitting group, but, I wanted to be sure that EVERYONE knew that indeed I did finish the 2nd one -

Funny how the first one took me over THREE (yes 3 months) to finish and the 2nd MAYBE 10 days... Think the lightbulb went on finally - ah, yeup...

So, here are the Jaywalkers - My MOM just loves them, adores them, keeps talking about them, but due to some arthritis and bunyon issues, they don't fit her well - as otherwise they would be on her feet right now..

They are made out of a "2nd" of a Dream in Color yarn that I call Blue Jean - (they were messing with color ways - so its not really a real color - if that makes sense) - and I knit them on size 1's - I believe the hank is around 400 or so yards and I have a decent amount left over - not sure what to do with the left over... So, about a $20 Hank -

Here are the pictures -



I have NO idea why I'm curling my left toes in the above picture - odd...



So, I'm happy that I'll NEVER EVER EVER have to knit these again (except if Mom asks me too - LOL)

I have OVERCOME..

The sweet smell of victory is wafting in the air in the house.. It is the wonderful aroma of a FINISHED Jaywalker sock...

Yes, Dr Kate was correct - obsessive or compulsive - you choose has driven me to finish this wild beast that has been knocking at my door for weeks now..

But, alas, victory is ALL mine.. I will take pictures and I'm going to savor this moment and celebrate - too bad I don't have champagne - otherwise I'd be breaking it out!

The 2nd sock should follow here shortly -

I have also completed the knitting of my Sheep Tote, the pockets are sewn and all that is left is felting!
