I finished my Koigu socks a few weeks ago, but the missing blog-mojo prevented me from posting them.

I haven't had much opportunity to wear these now that the warm weather is here, although the mornings and evenings have seemed more chilly than usual. In fact, I had these on last night.Cast On: 18 February 2007

Of course, since it is June I decided it was time to break out the summer sock yarn. I grabbed a pretty ball of Cascade Fixation and just cast on, making the pattern up as I went. One is already done, and the second is past the heel. Oh the joy of footie socks!!
It's the first time I've done an Eye of the Partridge Heel, and I think it's gorgeous with this yarn!! These should be another FO by the end of the weekend. Hopefully it will still be chilly enough to wear them.

Love the sock blockers - too adorable!
Glad to see the mojo creeping back - just don't scare it away! I have some Cascade Fixation in my stash, and I've heard it calling over the past couple of days. I have two pair of footies already - more is better!
Absolutely gorgeous Karen! I, too, love footies :)
Very nice! I love the colors!
I love fixation colors. The eye of partridge heel is so pretty. I guess I'll get motivated and try to do this heel. Thanks. Great images as always!
I LOVE your ankle sock pattern! I am looking for a good one. never made any ankle socks before but I wear them heaps. Willing to share your pattern with me?
I do love the eye of partridge heel. It looks lovely.
Love the socks

Very nice! I love having new socks - even if I can't wear them right away. I like to look forward to wearing them.
Awww, gorgeous socks - your color choices are always so perfect!
I love both pairs! You just reminded me that I have some Fixation in my stash that you gave me. I think I need to knit it up now!
Let's have a WooHoo for the footies! And the heel really does look beautiful with this yarn.
oooh pretty!
They heel is lovely!! Beautiful work!
I am certainly impressed with your little footies, they are fantastic! The color..the heel...everything!
Also love the other pair too, hope they do not feel neglected because I chose to praise the footies first. Ha ha. :)
Yeah! Fall will be welcomed with this new pair of socks!
Love the pattern you are making up! And the yarn is great!
glad to see your mojo is returning. I think I may have found mine as well.
The eye of partridge is my favorite heel pattern. I love what it does in the handpainted type yarns!
I must get me some Fixation for the super-cute footies!
Lovely--I have never used fixation--do you like it?
Beautiful Kogiu socks and the summer socks are looking great as well!
Great looking socks!!!
p.s. Did your stitch markers arrive yet? Let me know when they do :)
K, I just have to say I absolutely love the heel on those socks! I need to get one of those books that just show you different sorts of ways to do different things with the different parts of the sock.
I just got that book! It's funny, because I'm seeing it mentioned everywhere now. Love your Koigu socks, and that fancy eye of the partridge heel is so pretty! I love Fixation, it's so comfy.
Beautiful! Love the fixation heel... very summery.
Ooooh- those socks look so cute and cozy. great colorway!
Hey I was wondering if you had thought about maybe writing the pattern up for your footie socks??? If you did I would love to have a copy, if you wouldn't mind ;) hint hint hint, lol. I hope you are having a good week. Hope to hear from you soon.
