A pair of socks richer!

new Jaywalkers

Yup, I finally finished them! Details:
Pattern: Jaywalkers
Yarn: Mountain Colors Bearfoot in Meadow colorway

Needles: size 0 addi turbos

Comments on yarn: I LOVE THIS YARN!!! It's by far my most favorite sock yarn so far. Better than Lorna's. I love the way the colors show up in it. I love how soft it is (it's 60% superwash wool, 25% mohair and 15% nylon). It's got a nice sheen to it, and the socks are soft and warm.

Next up on the portable project front is a pair of mittens for my roommate. These were requested and I told her that I'd knit them for her as a Christmas gift. Obviously, I'm running a little late on Christmas gifts, but we knew that from the way the Reflection Aran Pullover is going. The mittens are supposed to match this scarf:

I'll be using a Lorna's Laces yellow for the dots and a nice navy blue from Louet

nascent roommate mittens
I'm still working on the sweater for my brother though. Maybe that'll get done in March.

Almost one month has passed without me buying any yarn at all! I'm so proud of myself!
