Last Friday, Dale, Hannah, and I went into Boston for the day. We were hoping to see some preliminary First Night ice sculptures, but they weren’t ready yet. We did, however, visit the Frog Pond and watch the ice skaters. The Jaywalker socks enjoyed the scenery and hardly laughed at all when people fell on the ice.
We hiked over to Downtown Crossing, with a brief stop at Windsor Button, of course. Did some shopping at Barnes and Nobles and DSW and then jaywalked over to Fanueil Hall for a late lunch/early dinner at Cheers. How cool is it that I actually jaywalked, in Boston, with these socks in my bag? It really got me into the spirit of the pattern, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, I finished this pair of Jaywalkers last night. These are for me and I love them.
Anyone notice anything unusual about these photos?
Cool, you hit the same places I hit most Saturdays! I haven’t gotten into making socks just yet; but, when I do, you can bet I’ll show them where your socks have been. lol
Loverly!
Oh, I love those Jaywalkers – they turned out perfectly. Um, unusual about the photos… What’s that under your feet???
Methinks you got a new wheel, you maniac!!! Oh, and cute socks!
Love, love, love the socks!
Another pair!? I haven’t finished my first…sign. AND that wheel is gorgeous!
Love the Jaywalkers – for some reason mine are dragging on and on a few more days and hopfully I’ll be done. Look at that wheel….woo hoo – another convert! (oh and I did mistype my email addy in the form duh!)
Another wheel? Gads. Looks like Cara’s pose on her Lendrum, except you’ve got socks on your feet.
That picture seems to be making the rounds. 😉 Congratulations! Beautiful Jaywalkers.
Oh I LOVE your jaywalkers. (nice wheel, too!) 😉
Ohhh..new wheel???!!! Love the socks…if you mentioned it I must’ve missed it…what is the yarn?
Another one? sigh. I’m consumed with jealousy.
Nice socks!
Thanks for your comment the other day. I’ve been home nursing a sick child for the past few days and haven’t had a chance to be on the computer. Anyway, I appreciate the support.
🙂
so cool socks. 🙂 I’ve abandoned my socks for now, in favor of finishing a baby blanket for my cousin who’s expecting at the end of January.
Gorgeous socks!
A new wheel?! Can we see, can we see?!
A second wheel already?? Which one? Show us, show us!
Wow! That colorway reminds me of Rainbow Sherbert. Oh, great! Now I’m hungry…gee, thanks!
Great ice skating pic!
You mean the wheel is supposed to be considered unusual? Huh…from what I’ve seen around the blogs this year, a fiber blogger showing off a new spinning wheel is an ordinary, everyday occurrence!
LOL
Regardless, congrats on the new wheel. And it sounds like you had a fun day in Boston, too!
That looks quite like a Lendrum DT to me. If so, nice work! That’s my wheel…
Love the socks and that look almost identical. Oh, and I love the skating scene.
Hi Carole!
LOVE the Jaywalkers! I hope to start my pair soon. Yours turned out lovely 😉
You did NOT get a new wheel!?! You are unstoppable!
I do so love your Jaywalkers and the new wheel. Yay!
Holy new wheel! Love it and those awesome socks.
Carole,
Your socks are great. I’m going to the the Jawalker pattern for my next set.
Carole that’s hillarious that you jaywalked with your jaywalker socks! GRIN I’ve got to start a pair of JW’s for myself. I’m feeling left out! LOL!
New wheel?
Nice socks ;o)
Ooooo new wheel? 🙂 Nice socks too!
Carole-
Your beautiful socks are more well travelled than me! Love the colorway…what is it?
your socks are gorgeous! what yarn is that? and what did you name your wheel?
I love your Jaywalkers. It IS a great pattern.
What is your yarn? It is very very pretty! I am thinking that you went to the “real” Cheers?!
Well..duh..if I had clicked on the link ( sorry I didn’t realize it was a link) before I asked the question then I would have had the answer about CHEERS. Really sounds like a great day.
NICE!!! I found these pics and I thought of you
love the socks Carole—they are very happy looking socks!
What a fun post! Now, as for something unusual… as La says, socks at the wheel are getting commonplace, LOL. Glad you are spinning up a storm in your newly clad feet 🙂
Are those already in the gallery? If not, they really, really want to be, to make all the others jealous of the awesome striping :).
Those are very cheery Jaywalkers- and the stripes match so perfectly!
I love the Jaywalkers… what yarn is that?? I really love how it striped up in the JW pattern!
And since I’m late in commenting – I already know it’s a new wheel – congrats!!
