Not a great photo, but they were taken at about 1:45 a.m. on Sunday, August 17, 2008. Poor Michael, I made him stay up to help me thread my needle for grafting and then take photos. He was done after four takes, so this was the best of the lot.
The pattern is Jaywalkers by Grumperina. The yarn is Lorna Laces Shepherd's Sock in the colorway "Grumperina." I think of it as blueberries and cream. It's a variegated mix of navy, purple, lilac, and cream.
I knit the pair in 17 days during the Summer Olympics as part of the Ravelrympics on Ravelry - my event was the Sock Put. Here's my medal:
The idea was to challenge yourself with a knitting/crochet/spinning project(s) to be completed between the opening & closing ceremonies of the Summer Olympics.
My hands still hurt, but I'm already swatching for Frenchman's Creek from my sock club. More about that later though.
