Sain vaihteeksi jotain valmiiksikin. Nyt omistan Step-langasta tehdyt Jaywalkerit. Noudatin ohjetta ihan melkein orjallisesti, ja totesin, että amerikkalaisilla on hassun muotoiset jalat... Tuo kolmiokantapää ei oikein istu jalkaani yhtä hyvin kuin se "tavallinen" neliönmallinen. Eivätkä varpaanikaan ole niin mononmalliset kuin tuon sukan kärki. Pidän silti mallista ja langan väritys sopii siihen mielestäni erityisen hyvin. Teen siis varmasti joskus vielä toisetkin jaywalkerit, tosin eri kantapäillä ja kavennuksilla.
I finally finished my first pair of Jaywalkers. I love the color and the stripes, but the toe and the heel are a bit funny, and next time I'll probably use the "normal" (is it french?) heel. The yarn is Austermanns Step, a lovely yarn with aloe vera and jojoba. It was nice to knit it during the cold and dry winter season when my hands normally are painfully dry. I though I might be using these as night socks, but I think the yarn itches a bit, so we'll have to see.
They look lovely . . . I like the striping of the yarn. Sorry to hear that they are a tad itchy. That is always the worst. This might account for the fact that I tend of rub yarn on either the inside of my arm or (gasp) neck to test for itchiness. I just finished my first pair, but I can say that it won't be my last.
