Jaywalkers!
Yes, I think I'm the only knitter on the internet who hasn't already made a pair of these. I can already see why people love this pattern so much. They're super easy and the pattern is soooo pretty in a stripey yarn.
I'm using my souvenir yarn from our trip to Oregon last month.
It's Bearfoot by Mountain Colors Hand Painted Yarns. The color is Firestorm, and I couldn't really do it justice in the picture. I was knitting in the car coming home yesterday (parked and waiting for the ferry) and the colors seem to glow in natural light. This is not the softest yarn I have ever used, but it's definitely not scratchy and the mohair gives it a lovely halo. It seems like it will be a really hard wearing yarn too, perfect for socks. We shall see.
This yarn was wound into a ball in the car yesterday morning (Thanks honey!) because I realized in a panic that I had no knitting to bring to work yesterday. I started a cash iroha sweater last week but I'm up to the sleeves and need size 8 dpns. (I'm pretty sure this is the only size between 0 and 11 that I don't have, of course) So anyway, Gordon was nice enough to be my swift in the car and I cast these on during my afternoon break and knit on them coming home and last night.
