I’ve been inspired by all of the colorful Cascade Fixation I picked up from Tangle recently. After all, why have all those great colors if I don’t use them… all of them… in one pair of socks…

These were started on our trip to the coast last Sunday. #1 Son egged me on a bit. That’s cool, Mom. I like those colors. Use more of that. But I have no one to blame but myself.

OK. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it. Click on the pic to see the progress on both socks of the pair.

I can hear my sweater even as I type: Only a few more rows! Only a few more rows! But I won’t be wearing a sweater for a couple of months. I’ll get back there, after a pair of Fixation socks, or two.

I can hear E’s lace socks whimpering: Please finish me! E wants to wear me! They may be lace, but they’re wool. We finally have warm weather. E will maybe wait a little while. Until I finish a pair of Fixation socks, or two, or three…

Happy Birthday to you

Love ya!

Guess where I am today? Newport! A little drizzly and gray, but a fun time was had by all.

My fix — i.e. Cascade Fixation yarn is in at Tangle! Yea! And thank you, Alice! I know have enough Fixation in enough colors to make a bunch of socks.

I guess that means I need to actually make something, now, eh?

In techie news, I’ve figured out how to blog via cell phone. I’ll now be able to post little updates no matter where I am. They won’t be long posts, though, because typing text into a phone sucks the big one.

Congratulations go out to Jerry of When Knitting Was A Manly Art. His site was mentioned in the summer issue of Knitty, out on newsstands now!

This issue is all about men: Knitting for men, knitting with men, knitting by men.

You GO guys!
