Alright, so I am not the last person to make Jaywalkers....
thought I was, but glad to hear I wasn't! I had you all going there didn't I with that link! You all thought I was going to do ANOTHER sock. Ha! But you will be happy to see that I have done both!
Above is the Dublin Bay Sock. This is a very easy pattern. When I say easy I mean if I don't have to look at the pattern after a couple of times around, that is easy. I am knitting these socks in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock Yarn - Girly Stripe. Love the colors. The picture isn't acurate. It is pink and purple.
I also cast on for this:
I figure I am doing really good with the sock thing. I needed a sweater with very little finishing. I grabbed the pattern here
I am using up some yarn that is odd's and ends. I have some worsted weight wool from another sweater I frogged. So far so good. I am hoping this will go quick. Hopefully more will be done this weekend. So there. I finally am doing a sweater!
Over and out.

The yarn I am using for Dublin Bay is very similar in color - it is Tess Designer Yarns - kind of a variegated fuscia... I really like the start of yours. I need to finish my other sock - thanks for the reminder!

I totally recognized that sweater right away. I was working on that same one last fall (in very similar colors) but gave up on it eventually. Not to worry though, the pattern isn't daunting or anything (obviously) but for whatever reason, it just wasn't working for me.

Your Dublin Bay Socks look great! Also, I love how crisp and clear the photo is. I still have a hard time getting good close-ups. Yours looks awesome!

Your Dublin Bay sock is great and I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on the sweater.
