The Sock That Needs No Introduction
Pattern: Jaywalker by Grumperina Materials: Sz 0 addi turbo, Regia Mini Ringel #5340 (2 balls, with tons of leftover yarn)
Notes: I cast on 76 sts for the smallest size in Sz 0 needles, and they still came out a bit loose. I usually cast on 60 sts on Sz 0 addi's for my ribbed socks.. so I guess 76 sts is a bit too much, even for the zig-zaggy pattern. I'm going to reduce it to 68 sts for my next pair...Yes that's right..there is going to be a next pair.
Aside from knitting Jaywalkers.. I haven't done much knitting the last few days.. feeling just a wee bit uninspired. But I've had that before.. and I'm sure things will pick up again soon. And you can be damn sure I ain't jaywalking in L.A.. a few years ago one of my friends did a little bit of jaywalking and got slapped with a $90 ticket. OuCh! That's enough money for more jaywalker sock yarn!

I love the way the stripes enhance the zigzagginess of the pattern. So cute!
Heeeeeey I love the color. Thee look totally different than all the other millions of jaywalkers out there, with the defined stripes and such. I like I like! Maybe I'll use that very yarn and pattern for my very first pair of socks.
those came out great! I love that chocolate brown background.
Cute! And man, your feet are tiny!
The Jaywalkers look great!! Nice job, Winnie!
I love the big stripes, so cute!
Oh my goodness, those are as cute as can be!!! I love them! Would you like them to be in the gallery?
Your Jaywalkers are gorgeous!! I love the colorway you used- so pretty. Take care! :-)
so cute!! yours turned out really well, i had tried to knit this pattern, but really, just not for me!
I love those colors! I'm working on on pair of mini-ringels right now too.. We missed you! Jump back on the knitting boat!
oooh, the mini-ringel striped really excellently! love them!
Best color combo for the jaywalkers I've seen so far! (No offense to others..) You did a beautiful job. As you also did on the Forecast sweater. Nice work!
I love the way the stripes worked out! Fabu!
Teehee! I entitled my post "Don't jaywalk in LA! It's illegal!" because of all the people I've known to get tickets here. Of course I obey all traffic laws and never get in trouble....
... and your socks look fantatic! I think the striped yarn is the way to go.
Love those colors and stripes !!
These are the first pair of Jaywalkers I've seen that I've liked! They look awesome!

Ooh, now I think I have some Ringel yarn in my stash. I'd been debating about using my Lorna's Laces, but this might be the way to go. That's if I still have any Ringel left. I dunno. But those are my favorite of all the Jaywalkers I've seen too. The ringel looks fabulous in this pattern. I just found your blog recently via Glampyre and I really like it. You do a great job!
Oooh, I love them! I want to knit them too!
Very nice. The more Jaywalkers I see the more I want to make them. And yours are really great!
