Fast Walkin'
I haven't even put the button on my sidebar yet, but my Jaywalker socks are done.
This pair is, alas, destined to be sent out into the world, but I wanted you all to see their beauty. The yarn: Lorna's Laces in "Purple Iris".
Fun pattern + fun yarn = fun socks to knit (and, I hope, to wear!)
Other Stuff
Thank you all for the kind comments about my recent engagement. Steve and I are very happy and both are adjusting to the new naming conventions this change in relationship status requires. He just loves referring to me as his "fiancee". Giggle.
We haven't set a date yet; I've got a dissertation to finish and next year is proving to be quite hectic with family obligations. As soon as we've decided, you can bet I'll be posting here.
I still haven't visited my gals at the LYS yet (I'm home grading papers this morning), but must give a shout out to Ruth, who we ran into That Night at a local restaurant. Imagine our surprise when the waitress delivered a lovely bottle of champagne to our table, compliments of my fave LYS owner! Thanks so much for that--it made a special night even more special....and me a bit more tipsy!

Love the purple Iris Jaywalkers. I have some black purl I may try for my second pair (optimistic as I haven't finished the first!).
