finally, i have finished my first pair of jaywalkers! i cannot say i love the pattern, and will likely never knit this pattern again after i finish the other socken. i can say i love how stripy yarns look in a chevron design. and i can say how much i especially love how yarntini looks in chevron ....
specs:
top photo ... knitted in adriafil's knit-col on 2.5 mm crystal palace dpns. 120 grams total.
bottom photo ... knitted in yarntini's cosmopolitian on 2.5 mm turbos. decreased 4 stitches on instep after finishing gusset round by doing double decreases on a plain round. knitted toe in my nancy bush way.
what i should do is cast on for the yarntini mate, before i forget all the little details, but, as always, there's something more alluring tempting me ....

those look great - i love how you managed to match up the stripes...
stripy yarns do look wonderful in that pattern! Great job on the 3 socken
Oooh fab! Makes me want to cast on for a pair right now!
Fabulous fabulous fabulous! (One for each sock.) I've yet to make a Jaywalker though will, eventually. I'm with you on stripes and chevrons. It seems a natural choice to me.
I love all the colors in the jaywalkers. But yeah I must agree the yarntini looks fantastic too. :)
Those are some awesome socks. I agree about the Yarntini in a chevron pattern. Fab!
i am so in love with the first pair!
I know it's getting cooler but surely not cold enough for hell to freeze over? Yay for a pair of socks!
Oh, beautiful socks! Love them. I am so going to knit chevron socks with something from my self striping stash!
