So after teasing the knitters out there with photos of half-finished socks and scarves, I figured I should show the finished (or near-finished) objects. So . . .
Ta-dah! The Jaywalker socks (finished) and the Hasty Scarf (unfinished):
The scarf just needs fringe on both ends. I’m halfway there, though I’ve had some fringe-length issues. (And yes, that’s me in an old, dirty T-shirt and my pyjama bottoms.) The socks are done, and nearly perfect. There’s a little flaw in the toe of the second one, but I love them anyway. It’s the perfect marriage of yarn and pattern, which makes them pretty special, I think.
Once the scarf is finished, I will be devoting my knitting hours to my financé’s (fiancé! I’m still not used to that word) sweater. Here’s a sneak peak:
It’s my own striping design based on a simple set-in sleeve sweater pattern. Problem is, I want to insert a 7″ zipper at the neck. Which is not in the simple sweater pattern. I’ll be looking for help in Ravelry for this one, I think.
The socks look amazing, and I’m seriously jealous!!!!! I started a scarf the other day and had added 6 stitches by row three! Yes, it got unravelled…… I need my knitting guru!!! Also, my sweater looks nothing like yours, and I started it a month ago…… Alas!
