Look What I Made!

I give you my completed Jaywalker sock, in Socks That Rock yarn, colorway Xmas Rock:



There's some crazy flashing/pooling, but I don't care, it makes them unique. The cool thing is, when I do the second sock, it'll look nothing like this one. Here's another shot from a slightly different angle. OK, I really just wanted to show off my sexy lower leg/ankle/foot. Rrrawwrrr.



I'm scared to death that I won't have enough for the second sock. If you're a fellow socknitter and you have a little extra Xmas Rock hanging around, email me. Call me cheap, but I just don't feel like spending another $23 on a toe's worth of sock.

And this is what I made on Monday Night Out with The Girls:



We went to Urban Girl for a little jewelry-making fun, and then margaritas afterward. This is a mother's bracelet - my birthstone (aquamarine) is on the far left, then two peridots surrounding the letter D, two sapphires surrounding the letter A, and two uh.. pink stones (tourmalines?) surrounding the letter M, then Dan's birthstone (peridot) and our wedding stone is the dangle (sapphire). It's my DAM bracelet!

Love how the pooling worked out on that sock! I'm still trying to decide which yarn will be Jaywalkers! Somehow my very busy 'Fire on the Mountain' seems the best candidate, but I'm holding out hoping I can come up with something different.

I am wondering when you have time to knit! Having 3 little ones keeps you busy I am sure. Love your Jaywalkers!

Knit On

You know what -- I think that is the best STR pooling I've seen. Because of the colors, it really works!

Very stylish and colorful socks here! :)

I hope you will find the yarn to finish the sister sock...

Did you use needles #1?
