Look Ma, I'm Jaywalkin!

Ahh yes.. April has finally come through for me. She sent me the magical mathematical key to the Jaywalker pattern. And really.. I guess if I had sat down with it long enough I might have been able to figure it out myself.. but she spelled it out really easily for me so now I can confidently jaywalk myself silly.

Did I mention I have really small feet?

Oh.. well.. I do.. and I'm knitting my Jaywalkers with 52 sts around.. Which is kinda nuts when you think about it.. But it really seems to be working out.

And let me just tell you.. this is the most fun (without trying too hard) I've had with yarn in a LONG time.. My yarn choice has made this pattern so darn fun I can't hardly stand it. I was even showing it to the guys at work and they'd give me that look.... you know the one... and I kept pointing and saying "LOOK! CHEVRONS!!" and then they'd finally walk away from the desk.. lol.

I know you'll understand.. so I'll try it with you..


LOOK! CHEVRONS!


Is that cool or what?! I love it.. and I hope I can end up wearing them atleast sometimes in the winter.. For this is 100% wool yarn and I live in Texas..

But even if I never wear them a day in my life I will still be pleased.. because I'm making chevrons and they look SO NEAT!

.....I'm a knitter dork...

Oh and guess what else I finally got done this weekend? The rest of the writing for the Right Front! YAY FOR ME! So I've started knitting on the TCC again.. All of this bodes especially well because I have TCC to work on at home.. and Jaywalkers to work on at work.. (Hehe.. I get to knit at work!)

So I'd be expecting another TCC picture soon.. I'm almost to the scary gotta-have-a-life-line part of the pattern where I will be reuniting with Mr. Spreadsheet again..

I have faith we can make it through!

Until then... LOOK! CHEVRONS!!

That colorway was meant for a Jaywalker! It looks awesome! You're doing super fantabulosa

Looks great! I want to make another pair of Jaywalkers now. Good luck on your right front. You'll do fine!
