Jaywalkers for Jessica

January 30, 2007 By Carole

Christine isn’t the only one knitting Jaywalkers these days. I have been, too. And mine are finished, too.

These aren’t actually mine, though, they are for my stepdaughter Jessica. And Jessica has teeny feet. In fact, they are a whole inch and one half shorter than mine and that makes for a fast knit. And Jaywalkers fit her feet perfectly.

Aren’t they lovely? The yarn is Socks That Rock, of course. And I’ve finally made peace with the pooling. To the point that I actually look forward to seeing what it will do.

I just think it’s wicked cool to watch the yarn colors line up and break up and change. I’m not sure what it says about me that I’m entertained by this simple thing. But I do know I’m in excellent company.

    Lucky Jessica. I wonder if knit in a larger size that you have had all that pooling. At least it was in the same place on each sock. What colorway is that? Great socks btw.

  2. Kathy says

    January 30, 2007 at 6:47 am

    They look great! I’m sure that they will get tons of wear.

  3. Karen says

    January 30, 2007 at 6:51 am

    Those are lovely socks and Jessica is so lucky to get them. Pooling has never bothered me in socks but when I’ve knit baby sweaters it drives me insane to have a bullseye on it.

  4. Rachel says

    STR works really well with the Jaywalker pattern. The ones you knit turned out lovely, pooling and all. I’m sure your stepdaughter will love them!

  5. Ann says

    January 30, 2007 at 7:14 am

    I love them Carole — is that one of the older colorways?

  6. margene says

    January 30, 2007 at 8:09 am

    I am constantly entertained by watching the stitches wrap around the needle. And if they are technicolor, like your socks, then that is an added bonus!!

  7. Karen says

    January 30, 2007 at 8:12 am

    Very cute!! But oh, they look so teeny. How fun to knit socks for teeny feet (I’m knitting a pair for Pea right now – NOT teeny!!!)

  8. Robin says

    January 30, 2007 at 8:12 am

    Love those Jaywalkers!! Fun pattern to knit too!

  9. Julie says

    January 30, 2007 at 8:19 am

    Beautiful socks! I also love to watch the color changes of yarn. But then, I’m kind of simple 😉

  10. hillary says

    January 30, 2007 at 8:21 am

    The colors in those socks are great even with the pooling. I think it’s fun to watch the way that the colors follow each other and combine too.

  11. Emily says

    January 30, 2007 at 8:26 am

    So pretty! Those are great colors – it’s good to see that the Jaywalker is a pattern that can stand the test of time. Maybe I’ll make a pair one of these days.

  12. Chris says

    January 30, 2007 at 8:36 am

    They are lovely!! Ah, to have tiny feet…

  13. Liz K. says

    January 30, 2007 at 8:41 am

    Carol, I love to look at colors pooling too. I get excited sometimes when an especially nice color stacks up. And that magenta is the perfect little blob for little feet.

  14. Mindy says

    January 30, 2007 at 9:35 am

    Very nice socks. I love to watch the colors change on the yarn and don’t mind the pooling, sometimes it makes neat patterns all its own.

  15. amanda says

    January 30, 2007 at 9:36 am

    Very pretty! I’m like you…I’ve had to learn to make peace with the pooling. I do love your little pool of magenta!

  16. scoutj says

    January 30, 2007 at 10:17 am

    They are so pretty!!

  17. Karen says

    January 30, 2007 at 10:19 am

    Well whatever it says about you, it also says about me. They came out really nice!

  18. Beth S. says

    January 30, 2007 at 10:24 am

    She is LUCKY to have Jaywalker-friendly feet! 🙂

    What’s the colorway? This is vital information, you know!

  19. maryse says

    January 30, 2007 at 10:35 am

    count me as being simple and easily amused as well.

  20. Lucia says

    January 30, 2007 at 10:36 am

    I am going to guess that the colorway is Love in Idleness (I adore that name). Jessica is doubly fortunate, because she has tiny, Jaywalker-friendly feet and because she is now equipped to enter Maryse’s contest. I vote for a brown tweed skirt (or pants, but a skirt would show off the socks better) and yellow shoes.

  21. JessaLu says

    January 30, 2007 at 10:55 am

    Hee! You said, “wicked cool” ;o)

    Love the sockage – I’ve been trying to justify attempting that pattern AGAIN to see if it finally works…AGAIN…

  22. nova says

    January 30, 2007 at 11:06 am

    Jessica is a lucky girl! I like the colorway. I have never been bothered by pooling in handpainted sock yarn, I think it adds character to the knits.

  23. christine says

    January 30, 2007 at 11:20 am

    I thought that I was the one in good company, finding the knitting of Jaywalkers highly entertaining…………..yours are way cool!

  24. SheepsPyjamas says

    January 30, 2007 at 11:23 am

    I guess I’m the oddity — I’ve always enjoyed the way certain yarns pool and flash, it keeps me interested to see how the colors will develop and makes each set of socks seem more “personal”… Love the way those wee-tiny looking Jaywalkers turned out, nice job!

  25. Lisa says

    January 30, 2007 at 11:42 am

    I’m working on a pair of STR in Lucy and am still coming to terms with the pooling. Since they are for me, I actually dropped down 4 stitches just to see what would happen. I didn’t get the stripes back, but the pooling area are definitely smaller.

  26. grumperina says

    January 30, 2007 at 11:50 am

    I love those – beautiful! What a nice gift!

  27. Amy says

    January 30, 2007 at 12:56 pm

    Lucky girl! Those socks turned out great! I also don’t mind pooling. It’s fun to watch how hand-painted yarns knit up. There’s always a surprise or two in store 🙂

  28. BigAlice says

    January 30, 2007 at 12:57 pm

    Ooh, those are gorgeous! Lucky gal!

  29. Laura says

    January 30, 2007 at 1:03 pm

    The colorway came out very nice! Sometimes you just had to live with the pooling. Otherwise what are you going to do… never use the yarn? NOT. I’m glad to see that they came out looking a lot like the Jaywalkers I made – almost boot-like in appearance. But they don’t fit like boots, thank goodness. heh

  30. Cookie says

    January 30, 2007 at 1:11 pm

    Those are lovely!

    What’s the trick to becoming okay with the puddling? I’ve tired two different colorways of STR and I just can’t stand it.

  31. ~Kristie says

    January 30, 2007 at 2:20 pm

    I just love those! Are these for a special occasion or just because she’s your stepdaughter? Makes me think I should knit a pair for my stepdaughter!

  32. Leslie says

    January 30, 2007 at 3:28 pm

    Those are cute…and a great colorway, too! I never even made a pair of these for myself.

    You asked about the mitten book…I say it’s worth it if you can find it at a reasonable (not eBay) price. I’m not sure I’ll use it as much as the SKS book, but it’s still fun to have.

  33. Jessica says

    January 30, 2007 at 3:50 pm

    You have no idea how excited I was when I saw the title of your post. 😉 They are beautiful. Which STR colorway is that?

  34. Leah says

    January 30, 2007 at 4:15 pm

    We should start a club! We used to hate pooling but now we don’t club! Like you, it’s become entertaining to see what will happen next.

    Lovely socks. What color?

  35. Kristi aka Fiber Fool says

    January 30, 2007 at 4:55 pm

    I love how the Jaywalker pattern keeps the pooling away until you get to the foot! Those are great!

  36. Susan says

    January 30, 2007 at 5:08 pm

    The socks are beautiful!

  37. Birdsong says

    January 30, 2007 at 5:26 pm

    What a beautiful job! I wound balls of yarn today just to see the colors (still too sick to care about doing much else).

  38. Peeve says

    January 30, 2007 at 5:47 pm

    Lovely! Is there anything Socks That Rock can’t do??

  39. Anne says

    January 30, 2007 at 6:11 pm

    I love seeing how the colors pool or stripe too.

    My aunt knits lots of socks for my grandma, because she wears size 1 1/2(?) kids shoes.

    I should knit some for my mom, she wears a 3 1/2 in boys.

  40. liz says

    January 30, 2007 at 7:17 pm

    purty!

  41. Debi says

    January 30, 2007 at 8:47 pm

    I guess marching to a different drum has it’s advantages, I’ve never met pooling/flashing I didn’t like! Your socks are lovely and much like your other readers, I must know the colorway!

  42. Kim says

    January 30, 2007 at 10:02 pm

    What sweet little socks! I wish I could figure out how to avoid pooling too….it’s hard. You’ve got a great attitude about it tho’ 🙂

  43. teyani says

    January 30, 2007 at 10:30 pm

    love ’em – they’re divine.

  44. Anne says

    January 31, 2007 at 8:25 am

    They look great – wonderful combination of pattern and yarn. Peaseblossom?

  45. Alison says

    January 31, 2007 at 10:56 am

    Beautiful colorway/beautiful socks!

  46. Monica says

    February 6, 2007 at 10:16 am

    Count me among the easily amused color-watchers. 🙂 So interesting how they striped so perfectly on the legs, too.
