Back to socks... the ones I were painfully trying to finish (I started in winter 2005)! I utilized the 5 hour train rides to Montreal and voila! Mission accomplished! Here I present to you the Lace Panel Socks in Sheepjes Sock Yarn on 2.25 metal needles. Luckily I have small feet and it was relatively fast to finish them up.
I'm not too sure about using the vargiated KSH knock-off to make this... but it's ironically challenging yet soothing, every row is a bittersweet accomplishment. The more I knit, the more I wonder... will the colors be too busy for the pattern? Yet I can't help but knit "just one more row" to see the effect of the colors.

Pretty pretty socks ;)!!
I'm not sure about the jaywalker, I find that I have to stretch mine a lot to get in them.
Love the fluffy thing, I think when you spread the lace the colours actually work.
Love those lace socks! Sorry can't help much with jaywalker, i haven't got around to sock knitting. The colorway for the shawl is nice.
The lace on the blue socks is very preety. And I agree with Yuvee, when the lace is stretched out, the fluffy colours look nice.
The lace panel sock is so nice and so of the colour, love it. The colourway of the shawl seem pretty too, I'm sure it'll be very pretty when finish.
Why don't you try knittng a small swatch of the lace and block before you decide if you would continue? :)
