I’ve been remiss with blogging updates on Knit. Sock. Love.<\/a> <\/em>which has gotten many lovely reviews and mentions. Here are some excerpts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\" <\/a>\"\" <\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From page 30 of the spring\/summer 2011 issue<\/a> of Vogue Knitting<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In this impressive volume, Cookie A doesn’t just dip her toe in publishing, she jumps feet first. A production of the highest order, Knit. Sock. Love.<\/em> presents everything from the photography and the styling to the socks themselves thoughtfully and beautifully. … a book that not only illuminates Cookie A’s architectural understanding of socks but also kicks the art of knitwear pattern book up a notch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

I made the cover May 2011 issue of the UK-based Knit magazine<\/a>! Ok, my name, not my patterns. On pages 28-29, there is an interview and lots of embarrassing photos of me. And there’s a review of the book on page 17.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> What made you publish your new book, Knit. Sock. Love.<\/em>?<\/p>\n

My answer:<\/strong> Knit. Sock. Love.<\/em> is my ode to sock knitting. I wanted to compile some of my individual pattern into an inspirational coffee-table-type book that really showcased how beautiful hand-knitted socks can be if you put your mind to it. There are 12 previously published patterns and seven new ones, which I believe represent my design approach and spatially oriented sock philosophy. It differs from my previous book, Sock Innovation<\/em>, in that it focuses more on the patterns than explicitly on the technique, but I utilise more advanced techniques on the patterns in Knit. Sock. Love.<\/em> that explore going off the grid with more angular elements.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

From page 10 of the July 2011 issue<\/a> of Creative Knitting<\/a> which should be in shops now:<\/p>\n

The artistic photography, layout and design elements make Knit. Sock. Love.<\/em> a must-have addition to any sock aficionado’s library.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Way back from the January 2011 issue of The Knitter<\/a>, Knit. Sock. Love.<\/em> was chosen as the issue’s top title for the reading list:<\/p>\n

Cookie A has been captivated by the opportunities [socks] have to offer – and she presents her exceptional creations in Knit. Sock. Love. <\/em> While they may look astonishingly complex, Cookie’s patterns are based on a few simple geometric principles. … All of the patterns introduce something a little different and will provide their own unique challenge. Those who’ve caught the sock-knitting bug will be delighted to find so many patterns to stretch their skills.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

And for the most detailed review of all, check out Clara Parkes’ review at Knitter’s Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’ve got the book, there are two wonderfully supportive knit-along groups on Ravelry, each with over 1000 members working their way through all of the patterns in the book! Both groups have a great sense of camaraderie and<\/em> prizes <\/strong>lined up throughout the year. Links to both groups: knit. sock. love. — a Cookie KAL<\/a> and knit. sock. love. <\/a><\/p>\n

If you don’t have the book, you can still order a signed copy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
