Today I finished my Jaywalkers. Wouh!
When I set this goal earlier in October (Socktoberfest 2011) to finish this pair of socks I started in the beginning of August, I just thought that it would be a fun way to accelerate my knitting pace and finish it a little faster so I can move on to the next project.
Well... it turned out to be a challenge more than I had imagined ;-) I felt just like during the Ravelympics! I've had to be disciplined! And I made it!
Here they are:
Needles: US 1 / 2.25 mm
Color: Empereur
Start to finish: August 2011 - October 2011
For: Me!
Notes: No modifications
Very nice self-striping yarn from Biscotte & Cie. I really enjoyed knitting with it!
The second heel was the longest to turn. I was just making one mistake after the other... Maybe I was too anxious to finish ;-)
The final touch!
Overall, it has been a very fun project! No wonder so many people knit that pattern! I wonder though if one day I will be able to knit one pair of socks in just a week!
Have a great week everyone!

Fantásticos!! Me encanta el modelo, y con esa lana queda genial! Besos.
You finished it! They look beautiful!! Just in time for the cold winter :)
Love them!!!
That is a great yarn choice! I love when you make a popular pattern and realize "Oh! It's popular because it's AWESOME!"
I'll have to make jaywalkers some day :D
Those look wonderful! I especially like your color choice. It really makes the pattern pop. I may have to make a pair.And I'll assure you, It'll take me more than a week.
Superbes ! J'adore les couleurs et le motif !
They are fantastic! Great yarn choice. I think I must be the only sock knitter who hasn't made these. Hmmm.... maybe I need to get on that.
So cute! The yarn choice really goes well with the pattern. Nice work!
