Colter Bean Talk

Socks in progress

Ah, baseball is back. While spring training games do tend to devolve quickly into, as Jerry Remy so aptly put it, “Colter Bean talk,” it is good for my soul to once again be able to sit in front of the television, watch my beloved Sox, and knit socks.

During this game I worked on three different socks, two pairs of big black socks for Socks for Soldiers and one pair of Jaywalkers from some of my hand-dyed yarn. I am late to the Jaywalker bandwagon but I see why they are such a popular knit – an easy to remember stitch pattern that looks much more complex than it actually is.

I finished one pair of the ginormous socks (picture here). I’m on the foot of the first Jaywalker sock and still working on the seemingly neverending cuff of the second big black sock (in fingering weight yarn, no less).
