Knitting Notes

I have quite a few smallish bits of left over sock yarn that I’ve been trying to think of ways to use, and I’ve hit upon a couple of different ideas for getting rid of the yarn. Idea number one is for yarns that I’ve actually got a fair amount left, like the Three Irish […]

Pattern: Jaywalkers by GrumperinaYarn: Sophie’s Toes in the Handsome Park Ranger colorwayNeedles: size 1.5 DPNs I cast on these Jaywalker socks last August.

Eunice socks

Knitting Notes

I downloaded clue #3 for Kiila on Saturday. It was a cloudy about to rain kind of day, so I sat right down, and finished it off that morning. I’d been pretty nervous about the short row heel, so I actually life-lined the end of clue #2 (you can see the red thread), but it
