Glitter Star Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 As I'm about to cast on for my first Jaywalker socks, it strikes me that there are some patterns that each knitter ends up knitting. It seems everyone I know has made a pair of Jaywalker in the same way all readers have read Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights. Which patterns deserve a place in the knitting canon?

knitbird Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Rowan's Birch in Kidsilk haze is something that everyone seems to have made, and Clapotis is the other biggy. I suppose that accessories are more universal, there's not many people who don't fit a scarf, where jumpers etc are more down to your shape and style.

littlemissy Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I keep seeing people who make the monkey socks. They are quite cute, but I don't get the obsession.

gempud Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 You'll understand once you knit some littlemissy - they're addictive! Link to comment https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/topic/86349-a-knitting-canon/#findComment-1491078 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I was going to suggest Clapotis. I've succumbed to both that and the Jaywalkers. Quite a few have knit Fetching (guilty) and the Backyard Leaves scarf (guilty - in progress) too. Many of the Knitty patterns have knitalongs on-going in blog land.
