But I thought I'd take a break from the packing to show what I have been knitting. Not much really. I started some jaywalkers toe up, to take on my plane ride (last weekend) and lets just not get into what a awful fiasco that was. I had every intention for shooting a bunch of pictures, tracking their progress, but yeah that didn't happen.

Jaywalkers (come on now am I the LAST person to knit these?) Socks that Rock, Lightweight, in Hot Flash. This was their special color I picked up at Stitches, with some of the money going toward breast cancer research. A little pooling but I am happy.

Now my favorite color of STR in my stash is Lemongrass, as seen above. It is medium weight, but it still knits up at about 8spi on 2.5mm, for me anyway. I love this color but I have had a heck of a time finding the right pattern. For some reason I am not feeling simple socks, but so far I have gone through 4 different variations. Two are seen below:

Jaywalkers, too big and to much pooling.

P- socks, again too big. Nice pattern though, I want to knit these soon. Before these two there was two slipped stitch patterns. But tonight there will be yet another draft, I am copying Yahaira, and I think it is gonna work out perfect! Do you ever feel like your yarn hasn't found the right pattern yet. Like it isn't worthy of your ideas. Well thats how I have felt about lemongrass.... but I will be knitting with it soon!
