I can let the cat out of the bag now, Rachel received her birthday package, with the Jaywalker socks done in Lana Grossa Meilenwiet Fantasy, color 4833. Like Rachel and Ryan, these socks are fraternal twins. Since nothing I knit is ever perfect, symmetrical, or exactly to a pattern (kind of like my cooking), I'm just happy that they fit and she likes them. I think I heard on a podcast recently that over 400 people have posted photos on Grumperina's gallery of their finished Jaywalkers. I love the pattern myself, can almost do it without looking. I'm also working on a second pair of socks for Rachel, these are in Regia Silk, and the pattern is from Knit Foundry, called Elegant Cable. The yarn is very fine, and the pattern called for 2.0 mm needles, the smallest I've ever used.

I love both socks!
Faternal twin socks for a faternal twin. What a great idea. I have b/g twins too but mine are only 18 yrs. old
