I'm thinking about joining the Jaywalker knitalong.
I've been thinking about it so long I've finished one sock and started two more.
No, I'm not some strange, three-footed freak. (Thank goodness! And we thought second sock syndrome was a nightmare!)
I originally started these Jaywalkers in Lorna's Laces' Baltic Sea colorway.
Yes, my feet are huge.
Moving along.
But then, I got my first skein of Socks that Rock. And Baltic Sea got unceremoniously dumped onto a 32" circ, and pride of place on my dpn's went to Ruby Slippers. I'm trying to work them with the picot edging as done here and here by better knitters than I.
But I don't really like the name of this colorway. When I ordered it, I expected something more... I don't know. Red?
So I'm renaming these socks. These are my "Painted Lady Socks." Because the pattern reminds me of corsets on Victorian chorus girls, and the colors remind me of Victorian houses.
But yes, I am planning on tapping my heels together to see what happens. Because I do believe in spooks. I do believe in fairies. And I do believe in Oz!
