Comments on: Jaywalker Reboot http://blog.katydidknits.com/2006/03/21/jaywalker-reboot/ In theory, it's all about the fiber - knitting, crocheting, sewing, and spinning - but really, it's all about my life.

It's a lot easier that way anyway. The kFBs start and end the circs, which is perfect. I'm making good progress on the second. Wish I'da done what you did though. I made mine too small too, but am gifting them instead of frogging. Mine will be better anyway! So there! Bah on the swatching! I’m knitting my jaywalkers with needle 1 and 2 on the first circ.

I love that Schaefer yarn and STR - haven't bought the schaefer yet, because how do you decide? I have some STR and its still sitting there, so I can admire it. I'm thinking of joining the club too......great blog! I’m glad you joined KR – I saw your post and came over to check out your blog.

I had to rip my Jaywalkers, too! I'm going to re-knit them on size 2 dpns. I had the same issue you had. Grr and argh. At least it will give me a chance to work on Forecast. Great yarn pr0n!

First, I knit tight, secondly, I am using Koigu which calls for size 3US. So, I tried a size 2 and I my gauge was probably a stitch or 2 bigger than 4 inches. They are HUGE. Everyone I showed them to said "hmmmm, those look big" but I can't knit any tighter...so last night for the gazillionth time (remember, I started these with Lorna's Laces first and had the streaking fiasco) I recast on with 68 stitches and am doing 6 stitches between the increases and decreases. <br/><br/>So the short version of what I am trying to say is...I feel your pain sister.
