i did it!

i finished my jaywalkers. aren't they purty? my second FO of 2006. i'm so proud. the only thing i don't really like about them is the ribbing up top. it's sort of bunchy. i think the picot would be much better.

now onto swatching for my pirate mittens. if you aren't paying attention, i'll point out i changed my mitten pattern after i received the kit from nordic fiber arts. there is no way i am smart enough to figure those instructions out. so i thought i would use the yarn and adrian's totally cute pattern. i have to search out my needles and surf around for some 2 color knitting tips. i wonder, is this what stranded knitting is?? must be.
