U-Necked Pullover
Lover’s Knot Afghan

Jaywalkers
Edit 02/10/08 – The jaywalker has been frogged.

I got to just past the heel before trying it on to find it was too small. I may try another pair later with different yarn as I liked the stripe effect. I don’t like Lion Brand’s Magic Stripes at all (bought on sale); the two other socks I’ve made with it are itchy and not any softer after repeated washings.
