I've a got a bunch of projects I've finished over the last few months that I'm excited to share over the next few posts.
First up, a project I had been working on for, excuse me while I check my project notes, oh, about five months - the eponymous Big Bang Jaywalkers*.
Socks. Socks that took me five months to make. In my defense, these were my carry around everywhere project that I only worked on while waiting in doctor's offices, and picking up my daughter from preschool and the like. I also admit that finally I Could. Not. Take. It. and just pounded out the last two inches of the sock just to be done with them.
Oh, and something fun about them - they started out looking like this...

Can we take a second to have a " I made that" moment?
From the moment I got this fiber I knew I wanted to split it, chain ply it to retain the stripes, and then try it out with the Jaywalkers pattern to get that cool chevron** effect. In a shocking turn of events they turned out pretty much how I was hoping.
* Note to self: Form yet another sassy all girl musical supergroup and name ourselves the Big Bang Jaywalkers.
** Extra geek points if every time you see the word chevron you start thinking, "chevron one, encoded...".

I say you get at *least* an hour of "omg I made that" and it could totally stretch out into several days. Those socks look great!
and now I want to watch SG-1 :D
Have a great week, Kate!
