Jaywalkers

I've been working on this pair of Jaywalker socks for my sister for well over a year now. It was one of those projects that I'd pick up ever so often but then put down for several weeks/months. Well, last week said sister and I departed on a "Just Sisters" camping trip to the Grand Canyon. The drive and setting made for the perfect opportunity to finish her socks.



I used the Austermann Step Yarn with Jojoba and Aloe Vera. After I washed them once they came out feeling incredibly soft and yummy. While I was knitting them up I was a bit worried they'd be too stiff but washing them really loosened up any stiffness in the yarn.

Here's another view of the socks with some curtains I sewed up for my kitchen a few months ago in the background. I love those curtains!
