Toxic Jaywalkers
I finished my Toxic Jaywalkers this weekend. I just had to finish the toe and that seemed to take a while to get to because i was falling asleep every night at around 8! The pattern was Jaywalkers from Mag knits. Size 1 boyle dp aluminum needles. Vesper self striping sock yarn from Knitterly Things in the Toxic colorway. The socks came out ok but they are a little tight going over the heel.
I'm up to 2.5 repeats on the leg of my 2nd cable net sock.
We have been home bound for the past two week days because of the massive brush fires. Many people have had to evacuate. Many homes have burned. We were going to go to the my in-laws but they have just as much smoke and it is less trouble to look after our son here. The fire came very close miles-wise to our house but we live in the middle of town so it was unlikely to come this far. we were ready to evacuate if needed. One of our friends had part of their horse corral burned but the house is said to be untouched. Many of his neighbors lost their houses. He hasn't been able to go back. It seems the 'worst is over' now but it is still smokey and ashy.
Not much knitting goes on when looking after our son, even with the two of us. He is an active little guy. I did crochet this thing for a japanese craft kit/purse kit from MakeMake. fun, but what purpose???
