Socktoberfest Socks

1st pair is done! Yay! Onward to my toe ups now!


Cascade Fixation Effects in pink, used US 3 dpns-sock 1, 2 circs.-sock 2.(was helping to teach a 2 circ. sock class) I must say, using my 2 addi circs is the best with this yarn. The bamboo is really grabby and slows me down a bit I think. Mainly due to my "tight" knitting...loose, I try to be a little more looser!! This is my best fitting ankle sock to date! (3rd time is the charm!) Excuse the wonky toe on your right, DD was modeling and I didn't check the socks first, and HA they are big for her, so I guess she won't be stealing them!! ;)

So, off I go to work on my toe-ups, and other stuff! Although I am quite beat from staining my new cabinet (son and FIL built it this summer for me)twice today (1 coat of wood conditioner, then found out the stain was too dark, off to store, back with stain/poly mix, then coat 1. Tomorrow, sanding and coat 2..)

Blogstalking assignment finished tomorrow, ABC along pics later in the week...and who knows what else!!

Have a great week!

Brilliant! The answer all along, right in front of me for months, and it just now occurs to me. These are the socks I'm meant to knit for my mom. Not the Lorna's. Cascade Fixation. The elasticity will help ensure a snug fit, and the ankle length is exactly what she asked for. Why I didn't think of this sooner, I'll never know.

Wow, those socks totally rock! The color really jumped out to me as soon as I opened your page - I'm usually not that keen on pink, but your pink is totally awesome - looove it! Great job!

These are so pretty, Zonda! I just love using Fixation for footies; they're my favorite summer socks.
