Torino Jaywalkers Have Crossed the Finish Line!!!!

Walked this am with snow flurries falling around me (just a dusting fell overnight)! Air temp was in the 20s~~no breeze to speak of. Wore my A.R.A.N. (no coat) and cabled hat in matching wool, scarf around my neck and gloves. Quite toasty when I returned home an hour later ready to face the rest of the day.

My Torino Jaywalkers are complete~~ends woven in, washed, and ready to wear. Definitely fraternal twins. I tried and tried and couldn't get them to match. The sock on the right is the one I finished first. I'm very pleased with that one--the leg striping is great. The one on the left, not so much. I just don't get it~~same needles, same size, same # of stitches. What gives!?! The only thing different was the skein of yarn. I thought about ripping it out and starting over, but just couldn't bring myself to do it. So, like some of the ice dancers last night, my performance fell a little short. Next time I do Jaywalkers, I'll use a yarn with more colors and shorter repeats of the color. I'm thinking my STR will fit the bill nicely~~it's what was originally planned for this project.

Now, onto the next project(s) ...........I really need to get going on the front of my FLAK. I've pretty much settled on a cardigan, but am seriously considering a shallow v-neck rather than a crew, so this decision has me putting off actually starting the front. I have to make the neck shaping decision first. Any input?

In light of FLAK undergoing some design decisions, I've picked up a sock pattern for swatching. I'm enchanted with the Wyvern Woman's Sock Pattern. I love the look of the "scales". I am considering this in the LL poppy from an earlier post for my Sockapaloooza pal, as it is easily adapted for size. Last night during the ice dancing competition I swatched using some LL shepherd sport Gold Hill and am unsure about the results. I'm thinking this pattern will probably do best in a solid or near solid, but I have enough Gold Hill for one sock (for me) and could get one skein to finish the pair. Do you think the pattern gets too lost in the striping of the sock? Let me know what you think!

Sock class went very well on Friday~~everyone is catching on very quickly. I'm really proud of them, they're doing great work. I'll post a photo of their finished socks in the next couple of weeks~~this week is sewn bind off!
