Fixated on a pattern

In February these socks came to life when my Mom challenged me to come up with a new design as her "gift" to me: attempt to come up with a sock pattern with the ever stretchy Cascade Fixation. 

The toe-up, double eyelet design was SO much fun and so easy to "memorize" that soon Fixation was showing up in non-Fixation yarns. (One time for me, and another time, in a shorter version for my MIL for Mother's Day.)

The pattern needed another needle check (I failed to write it down for pair number one) and my aunt was the happy recipient of Fixated Yet.

Unfortunately, Karen's birthday was not enough incentive to get the pattern posted.  Though it was finished and tested ONE MORE TIME for Special K's special Healing Socks.

So, at long last here is the promised pattern pdf (it's also in the sidebar).  Coincidentally, the double-eyelet pattern now has also mesmerized the fabulous Wendy.  Hers adds an additional knit stitch in the gap between eyelet sets.  Knitting is so much like cooking, each cook adds their own "special spice" to a beloved "recipe"...and socks really do "feed" my soul!

I know what you mean about fixated -as you've seen, I just can't get enough of my sewing machine at the moment. My knitting thinks I'm having an affair...
