I went on a Cookie A binge!

First I did her BFF socks (free pattern on her site: www.cookiea.com (http://knittinghelp.com/knitting/forum/www.cookiea.com) ) in this dark, slightly variegated no-name yarn from Dream in Color -http://flickr.com/photos/55055617@N00/697162852/in/set-72157600200650665/. I love this yarn - I hope they start selling it at Fringe (where they dye DIC yarn). Anyway, here are the socks: http://flickr.com/photos/55055617@N00/853490870/.

And I finally finished her Twisted Flower socks in Louet Gems in Sage - they took forever! Knowing how to cable w/o a cable needle is essential for this pattern. It probably would have taken me twice as long without it. I tried to take a picture of the heel flap, because that's the coolest part, but was unsuccessful. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow, after stretching out a little. :lol:http://flickr.com/photos/55055617@N00/853491028/

What do you think? Got any ideas for the next sock?

The links to the pictures didn't work for me, but they sound cool.

didn't work for me either. sounds like fun though.

Ooh, that twisted flower pattern is beautiful! Love the color too. Great job!

They look just great!

Wow! Awesome job on those socks. I haven't yet tried any complicated patterns. Congratulations - those are gorgeous!

Awesome socks!!

BTW... the links don't work in the post, but they do work in the signature.

OH My Gosh!

Those are B E A U T I F U L!:thumbsup:

Aren't Cookie's Sock Designs wonderful?!?

THANKS!! I LOVE Cookie's patterns! Although the pattern always looks incredibly challenging, the way she writes them is mathematically elegant, so it actually winds up being easier than it looks.

I tell her that she's a sock-genius, but she doesn't believe me.

Oh wow, I am so impressed! I was disappointed when the pictures didn't work because I really thought they sounded great, but they actually look ever better than they sounded! Amazing work :D

Those are really pretty. It also looks like it was a really complicated pattern! :oo:

Kudos to you!

The links worked for me! WOW those are beautiful socks! Hope I can one day make such gorgeous socks! I'm finally venturing out of the bog standard sock in three sizes to try something a bit different. The ones you have here are just stunning!

I brought them in to the LYS where I bought the Louet Gems, and they liked them so much they put them on display!!! If i decide to let them keep the socks, I get reimbursed for the yarn PLUS 1.5 times the yarn cost in store credit - to buy more yarn!!

What should I do? To keep, or to buy more yarn?

GREAT socks! I think I would keep them after all the work, though.

I love that pattern! :heart: :blooby:

Wow, simply............wow :shock:

Beautiful work, Great job!!
:thumbsup:

The owner of the LYS told me yesterday that ever since my socks went on display, they've sold out of the pattern and have a waiting list for more. Wow.

Wow. You did a beautiful job. I also took a look at some of your yarn photos. Mmmmmmmmm. Beautiful yarn!!!

yeah, i just had a look at your Lorna's Laces stash... the Vera colour is to die for... have you made anything with it?? I'd love to see a finished product to see the colours!!

Wow, the pattern is amazing and the colour is beautiful!
