Pattern: Jaywalkers by Grumperina
Needles: Size US1
Yarn: Socks that Rock Lightweight (Barney Rubble)
It took me almost 3 months to get these socks finished. I started them at the beginning of March and finished them mid to late May. But they are wonderful. I lost one of my dpns just when I was starting the heel of the second sock, so I know that’s most likely why one sock is slightly looser than the other in the heel, but otherwise, they fit pretty good. I didn’t want to wait too long to keep working, so I switched from dpn to 2 circs to do that second heel and the rest of the second sock. It was my first time doing socks on 2 circs and I really liked it. I do prefer magic loop, but this wasn’t bad.
Although jaywalkers tend to run small with tight heels (as I’ve read in Ravelry), I knit the small size and since I have small feet, they ended up fitting perfectly. As I said, one sock has a slightly snugger heel that is a bit more difficult to pull on, but once on, I can’t notice it. I think once the weather turns cold again, I’ll definitely be getting a lot of use out of these socks.
