Jaywalker Socks

This pair of socks involved lots of heartbreak with my first attempts with Socks that Rock. Horrible pooling resulted, and after almost 10 hours of attempts, I gave up and switched to this yarn. I got the stripes I wanted, and am very pleased with the socks. I worked the cuffs with Brittany DPNs, then when I got to the foot, found the foot to be a bit loose, and pooling was starting. I switched to two socks on two circs to finish it up (Addi Turbos are actually a US 1.5, not a 1) and that fixed both issues.
