lemongrass
The ends aren't woven in yet because I haven't decided not to start again from scratch, but I'm mostly happy with the first Jaywalker II.
I'm actually mostly thrilled with it. I had to re-knit the heel four times (I wound up knitting the heel and the foot on #0s), the ankle is a little loose, and the pooling does not make me sing from the mountaintops, but on the whole it's good.
For one thing, this is the best gusset I've ever knit. Look at it! It's PERFECT. I can hardly believe I knit it. It's so precise. I also love the sharp line of slip stitches down the side of the foot. The
Here's the pooling. Don't get me wrong, I love the colors the pooling made, but I'd have preferred that the foot striped like the ankle did.
Now I'm off to find a live chicken. I figure a fire sacrifice to Elizabeth Zimmerman will help the second sock match this one. I don't think her spirit will be satisfied with the package of chicken thighs in the fridge. Will it? Will a fire sacrifice work if you get dinner out of it?

*whistles inappropriately* That is one mighty fine looking gusset.

That's some hot gusset action.

It's pretty! It doesn't look like the pooling is that bad - I LOVE the subtle shifts of kelly to grass greens!
