SOS #1
Pattern: Jaywalker by Grumperina
Yarn: My handspun
Needles: 1.5 Addi Turbo
Start/Finish: June 22nd / August 4th
My yarn was slightly heavier (and occasionally lighter) than the suggested yarn and my needle also a few millimeters (duh!) a fraction of a millimeter bigger so the sizing issues you've all heard about didn't apply.
Wow! Those socks are gorgeous!

Everyone is making handspun socks these days. They're all so beautiful, it *almost* makes me want to take up spinning.
