<\/a><\/center>\nBehold! The finished Jaywalker socks<\/a>! I’m very, very happy with how these came out! I have realized, however, that I need a pair of sock blockers<\/a> desperately. Carrie already promised to buy some for me for my birthday, but since she doesn’t have a credit card I’m hoping her Daddy will help her out…<\/p>\n
And then there’s this:

<\/a><\/center>\nA matching hat to the candy corn sweater<\/a>. Carrie saw me making the little curlies for the top (I’ve added two more since I took the picture) and insisted on wearing it all morning, unwoven ends sticking out everywhere. I’m glad she likes the things I knit for her – I’m going to take full advantage of that while it lasts! Oh, and I only have a couple of yards left of this fabulous yarn, so that’s the end of the candy corn goodness. I’m not sure what else I could have knit to match the set anyway!<\/p>\n
Finally, I’m joining the Warm Hands<\/a> knit-along, because I’ve been attempting to create my own mitten\/glove pattern to go with my so-called scarf & hat set<\/a>. Since I’m knitting mittens anyway, I may as well join another knit-along, right? I feel a little like my knitting has been floundering. Christmas projects, too – I haven’t worked on those in almost three weeks! But obviously something is getting done when I’m not paying attention: Behold! The finished Jaywalker socks!

\nThey’re mittens with a fold-back top, but I haven’t decided if they’re going to have fingerless gloves or standard gloves as the lining. I’m using stash Koigu to line them (here’s hoping one skein is enough!) and I think that would be thin enough to have full-length fingers. But it would probably be easier to buckle Carrie into her carseat with fingerless gloves. I’m kind of stalled because I can’t decide – of course, I’m nowhere near<\/i> the fingers, but that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. As always, this would be a much smoother process if I actually had a pattern to follow! (I just hope I can follow my hastily jotted down notes for mitten\/glove number 2!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
