Sock Nirvana?
S/S 2007 Sock Collection : Cookie A
The woman is a genius. I don’t always like the stitch patterns used, finding some of them over the top ornate, but I thrill to her technical skills on the structural side. And I must say I am thrilled with the way that Hedera is going, so will certainly make more Cookie A. socks. At the moment I am eyeing up that German Stocking pattern, though I would want to modify the long cable and have something slimmer and more sinuous in its place. And I have to use that fabulous foot from the Millicent Sock pattern, but could never wear that turn over top myself…
I am reminded of the black lace stockings that my mother knitted many years ago. I thought she was mad. Come to think of it, maybe she was - perhaps I am just going slightly mad myself. It’s a lot of work, for something to keep one’s tootsies warm!
