hey there! i’ve never taken the time to comment on your blog as i usually communicate through ravelry but what motivation! ;)
you know i failed miserably with the sock thing but i really want to succeed as i’m naturally drawn toward sock yarn for some stupid reason.
i’m about to head over to the a-store to check out the cat bordhi sock book you just reviewee.
i love your podcast btw – thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. and i love the chitchat tone that makes me feel like i’m sitting down having a nice tea with a friend:) (actually that’s what i often do as i listen ;))
i hate your book reviews though – they make me want to buy them all! ;)

I love your podcast! I had my husband listen to your German journey and he very much enjoyed it. He lived there for 3 years and it brought back a lot of memories for him. Hopefully this will put his brain to working on a German vacation for us in the near future!

I really enjoy your podcast. I have reserved Sock Innovation by Cookie A at my local library where I am 12th on the list….this means at least 24 weeks. Do not know if I can wait that long. I have been knitting for many years, but only 1 pair of socks ever. I am so up for knitting another pair.

THANK YOU for sharing your knitterly insight. The path to a good fitting garment is math, not needle juggling. One of my first projects was a hat, a yarn store employee suggested changing the needle size. In the end, my hat was too blouse-y for a blouse. You should have seen it laying on my head! And, do you know how many hours I have spent swatching for one project, trying needle after needle? Now I can spend a few minutes with a calculator and get right into the knitting. Wish I’d thought of that a few years ago.

Like you I’m lovin’ socks. My passion waned at one point, but is back now in full force. Socks are my favorite thing to knit, which is good because sock yarn is my favorite thing to buy. I go to the knit store vowing to stay away from the sock yarn. But, when I leave the bag has only sock yarn in it. How does that happen?

I think part of it is that sock yarn is so dang affordable. If a sweater’s worth of yarn cost $20, I might knit those, too.

I’m a new Cookie A disciple and I’m so happy to have found your blog. I really love bloggers who give us book reviews, since I never trust the ones in the magazines. Thanks for a great blog!
