Ripped out Jaywalker

 

These are made out of some lovely JoJoland.  It's difficult to see here, thankfully, but I screwed up the pattern big time.  My problem with the Jaywalker every single time is that I want to count the number of stitches for each row, and can't get it through my head that the count is off each time, and is suppose to be.  So I inadvertantly try to "fix" it, and mess up the look.  I loved the way this yarn turned out, and I could never wear these and not remember that I messed them up.  So after working on them for 5 days, out they came.  The gauge was quite small, they were taking forever.  Having said that, since the gauge looked so small, I made them the medium size, which was incorrect.  They felt sloppy.  They would have turned around in my shoe.  So I didn't want to waste quite nice yarn.  I need to remember: For Jaywalkers, make the smaller size, and the count will be off on various rows, it's suppose to be!

This sock is my first attempt at a jaywalker. Why am I the only idiot who has had difficulty with this??? Everyone loves it so much! It was something about when I was turning the heel and continuing the pattern.

This is another example of the Putting It All Together Gloves from Kristin Nichols. Love this! These are for a friend, and use some duet sock yarn, varigated. Other than that it's pink cotton, and Vanna Favorite's lime green, Pattons brown. I'm still duplicate stitching the second one.
