Yay FO August

UFO August is about to wrap up, but I’m still working hard on getting my list whittled down. Last night, for instance, as the Cardinals played the Cubs, I finished up my Cascade Fixation ankle socks. This is my first (and possibly only) pair of socks for Summer of Socks as well. I like working with the Fixation, and I really like that less than one ball makes a pair of anklets for me. Great for a girl on a tight budget. I see more of these in my future. I used the KAL pattern, but I also referred to Alison’s pattern, although I didn’t go with the short rows. I’m not happy with my toes, and there was some funky laddering going on. Luckily, Kirsten sent me some toe help for my next pair of socks, which I’ve promised to make for Neal. And I know the laddering is easy enough to remedy. Since I like this sock, I’ll invest in two size 3 circs rather than using dpn’s next time.
