Fixation


These socks are made with Cascade Fixation. I really like the feel of the fabric that this yarn makes. It takes a bit of getting used to not stretching the yarn out as you knit so that it will have some elastic to the final product though. I think they will be really comfy in my work shoes and great for next summer. The yarn came with a pattern from my Sock of the Month kit but I was having enough trouble keeping the yarn at the right tension without throwing in a pattern stitch too!


I made these little socks for my granddaughter with some left over yarns. It's a great way to use up all those little balls and she loves to wear the socks that grandma makes for her.

I love the color on the fixation socks. They came out very nice.

My grandsons are the same way when it comes to wear socks I make. My oldest grandson calls then "gram mades" and refuses to put anything else on his feet all winter. Isn't it nice that you can give them a little hug even when you aren't there with them?
