I’ve been eyeing this book since before it came out, now you’ve convinced me. And I’m a big top down fan, too.

Ah, I prognosticate many beautiful sock patterns from you in the near future.

I am enjoying toe-up right now, I really should give cuff-down another chance.

“I have biases and preferences that will become apparent. All the socks in this book are knitted from the top down, and most have ribbed cuffs, a flap heel with gusset, and stockinette wedge toes.”

Do you know how much that statement makes me want to run for the hills? I love many of the pattern in the books, but I am going to have to do some adapting before I touch them TOE UP FOR LIFE!

I can’t wait to see you what you do! I think Cookie would be proud!

Can you believe I don’t have this book yet? Oy. Amazon is my next stop before heading out for work!

I think my copy of Sock Innovation is arriving this week in the mail, and now I really can’t wait to look inside! I’m also excited to see what you do with Kai-Mei. From what I’ve heard about Cookie, I definitely think she’d be pleased to see you adapting her patterns to your own style!

I’ve been enjoying my copy. Funny, the lists have been slamming the book for having one-size patterns. But, as you say, she gives you all the tools to adjust them. It’s pretty clear they didn’t read the front part and went straight to the pretty.

I LOVE the chart for any size heel turn. I’ve used it repeatedly.
