one down...

well, here it is! a jaywalker -- the first of a pair. and, yes it fits! as the saying goes -- the third time is a charm.

i started this on tuesday evening at "snb" and finished it yesterday afternoon -- sort of. the only thing left to do is the toe. the pattern calls for a kitchener stitch to finish but, i don't get that. i've tried before but, it doesn't work for me. so, i've put the last 14 stitches on a stitch holder in the hopes that one of you can show me how to do this type of bind-off. if not, i will be stick with what i know and bind-off the good old fashion way.

i would have modeled them but, i'm still in pj's and the legs are a bit ashy! i didn't want to put you through that.

have a great weekend. traveling tuesday but, i'm hoping to be there the next -- it was fun.

  • Hey Karon! I am very impressed with how quickly you knit that sock! And it looks great. Somebody at the group can definitely teach you the kitchener -- or someone at Village Wools. You'll also find instructions for it in basic knitting reference books like The Knitters Companion or Vogue Knitting or Debbi Bliss How to Knit.

    Congratulations again on the great work.
