Jaywalker Twelve - THE LIST!

Just so you know - I've been knitting along with you - right down to the wire! Tonight, at 10:18, I finished my EIGHTH pair of Jaywalkers.



These socks are two repeats longer than my usual. I thought I had a bigger skank so I took a chance on the first sock and added the extra repeats on the leg. I knew immediately upon finishing that I wouldn't have enough for the second sock, but I ordered more instead of ripping. The color in the second skank is pretty different than the first, but I only used it at the top of the foot, so I don't think it's really noticable. I have enough left over for another pair. ;-)

ONTO THE LIST! If your name appears here, you will be entered into the drawing at 11:11 PM. If your name does NOT appear here, and you think it should, please send me an email to cara AT januaryone DOT com and let me know. I will check it out and get back to you. Thanks everyone for an AMAZING RIDE!!!

Wow, that is a truly staggering number of finished jaywalkers! Thanks Cara for hosting this - it has been really great to see everyone's socks and the way the different yarns and colorways knit up. Congratulations everyone!

Thanks for keeping it fun and so well organized, a mammoth task if ever there was one. I think you deserve a gold medal ;)

Posted by: Tracy at February 14, 2006 03:31 AM

Yay! Wow what a lot of Jaywalkers we've knitted!

Is it ridiculous for me to be all "Yippie!!" at seeing the little happy lovey smiley in front of my name? Because really, I'm thinking I should start spelling my name with a cutesy smiley in front of it all the time, if it gives me this much of a kick!

Posted by: Thorn at February 14, 2006 05:22 AM

I think you met an Olympic challenge just to keep all of that organized! What a lot of Jaywalkers! You are the Pied Piper of knitting! Thanks for all your work. You made it fun.

Posted by: Annie at February 14, 2006 06:19 AM

So how glad are you that this is over!?!?

Posted by: Carole at February 14, 2006 06:24 AM

holy crap! maybe you should host the st. brigid kal. wow!

Posted by: Kathleen at February 14, 2006 06:51 AM

Thank YOUR, Cara for being such a fabulous organizer. Don't know how you did it! You=awesome.

Happy Valentine's Day!! Hope it's a good one! :)

Posted by: Sandra at February 14, 2006 07:06 AM

Alas, I didn't even come close! I managed eight repeats of the pattern on one sock!!

Posted by: Kate at February 14, 2006 07:24 AM

Thanks for organizing the KAL and putting up with all of us bandwagon jumpers! You are amazing, and I will have you know, I cannot stop knitting socks now!

Hope you stay warm and have a Happy Valentine's Day!

Posted by: Sarah at February 14, 2006 08:20 AM

Wow. What a list. Kudos to you for keeping up with it as long as you did!

Love the newest ones - what colorway STR is that?

Posted by: Stacey at February 14, 2006 08:25 AM

I love the little blinky heart smilies!

Posted by: trek at February 14, 2006 08:35 AM

Wouldn't it just be the coolest thing ever if we could get all of us in the same room with our Jaywalkers on? I'm imagining a school gym, with all of us posed like a class picture, but with our feet up in the air instead of our heads.

Posted by: PumpkinMama at February 14, 2006 09:04 AM

That is some big-ass list of names. I don't like my chances....

;-)

Posted by: claudia at February 14, 2006 09:15 AM

I was thinking the same as Claudia. No matter, I have new socks on my feet today.

Posted by: Steph at February 14, 2006 09:41 AM

Can I just win an award for the most sticktoitiveness or something? Like the *I take pity on Scout for ripping out a trillion times, having two different sizes and completely unmatched socks* award? ;)

Posted by: Scout at February 14, 2006 09:57 AM

That's amazing. Congratulations on a mega-successful knit-a-long!

Posted by: Kathy at February 14, 2006 09:57 AM

I like this last pair! Definitely more contrasty than the pink one with a picot edge. Gallery, yes?

Posted by: grumperina at February 14, 2006 10:04 AM

Wow! Eight pairs! That is so great. I couldn't even finish one pair in time for your drawing...(well, due to a broken needle), but anyways, thanks for hosting the KAL. I had a great time!

Posted by: Elaina at February 14, 2006 10:33 AM

Thank you, Cara, for an amazing ride through Jaywalkers across the blogosphere. It's been really fun! And I enjoy your photography. Beautiful! Happy Valentine's Day!

Posted by: Susan at February 14, 2006 10:37 AM

Holy Jaywalkers! That's a bunch of socks. Thanks for getting us all together to knit a fun pair of socks together!

Posted by: margene at February 14, 2006 11:10 AM

Golly I write stupid comments when I'm in a hurry;-)

Posted by: margene at February 14, 2006 11:11 AM

Thanks Cara for creating the KAL, for hosting such a large crowd, for providing such ongoing inspiration and leadership (and a few kicks in the ass etc.) and for being so generous. Congratulations on all your socks; you have your own little family of Jaywalkers - they are so cool. I would love to see a group photo of all of your socks hanging out together (I know you did one before but might be time for an update). I really enjoyed my first KAL - you are freakin' :) awesome! Happy Valentine's Day!

Posted by: Cynthia at February 14, 2006 11:11 AM

Unbelievable - 172 finalists! And so many blogs to check out and add to bloglines! What a fantastic task, you are an unbelievable host ( in hopes that buttering her up will secure one of the winning skeins of STR)...just kidding!

Holding breath till 11:11!

Happy V-day!

Posted by: Julsey at February 14, 2006 11:24 AM

Woot! Thank you so much for an excellent kal Cara! Happy Valentine's Day!

Posted by: Karen at February 14, 2006 12:02 PM

wow, thats a whole lotta socks!
Thanks again Cara, for an excellent KAL (despite my tardy and short stay!)

Posted by: Carla at February 14, 2006 03:28 PM

Your Jaywalkers look great! Ye gads, half the knitting bloggers must be in this one. :)

Posted by: Chris at February 14, 2006 08:15 PM

Yikes! Whoever it is running the 200sox knitalong/tally is probably jealous. :)

Posted by: jen. at February 14, 2006 09:17 PM

This was fun! Thanks for hostessing!
11:11 has been my favorite time of day since I was a kid! (As soon as I realized that it's the only time of day when all of the numbers on the digital clock are the same.) I used to lay awake at night until I saw 11:11 on the clock, then I'd drift happily off to sleep :-)

Posted by: Wendi at February 14, 2006 11:17 PM

PS forgot to say that I like the colors on your 12th pair!

Posted by: Wendi at February 14, 2006 11:18 PM

Oops 8th pair. It's after 11:11. Obviously, I need to go to bed!
