Jaywalkin'
(For the record, I think that jaywalking is evil. I have an unnatural hatred toward it.)
Like everyone and his/her brother's sister's mother's aunt's nephew's grandfather, I'm knitting the Jaywalker socks.
I'm using Trekking XXL in colorway 100, which I've noticed seems to have risen to some sort of mythical status. At least, I've seen several blog-mentions of it in tones of great reverence.
As you can see quite clearly, I purchased mine for $15.50. It has been sitting around waiting to be used for far too long. It's a lot less wild knit up than it is in the ball, but I'm pleased with the results. The yarn is certainly amusing.
My sister's second mitten is about halfway done, after only about an hour and a half of work. I feel so speedy!
The new year is a-comin'.
Last year I made the mistake of making absolutely no resolutions, and absolutely no goals, for 2005. I saved myself the trouble of beating myself up for not meeting any goals, but I'm now beating myself up for being a lazy hunk of jiggly flesh. My plans for next year may end up being a little overenthusiastic, but what the heck. The worst I can do is fail!
Most of my goals are going to be health- and fitness-related, but I'll certainly need to throw a knitting-related goal or two in there. I welcome your suggestions!
