yesterday at Purlescence Yarns. I absolutely love it!
And I can finally show you the fabulous heel from my personal footprint socks that Cat taught us at sock camp! These socks are probably my best fitting socks yet and I can't wait to knit more socks with this method!
I'm even thinking of casting on my Sknitches Syncopation yarn in the colorway, Seriously? this week using one Cat's personal footprint patterns. The heel will keep the self-striping going just perfectly!
Oh, and did I tell you that I forgot how much I love knitting things other than socks with sock yarn? I'm not sure if I really forgot, but wow! I'm loving Madelinetosh Tosh sock knit up as a lacy baktus. I'm over halfway done!
And did I tell you we're having a sale on IrishgirlieKnits' sock patterns this week? I didn't? Now I have!
The Socks that Rock Group over on ravelry is wrapping up its Cotty knitalong and I have loved every minute of it!!! To see the gorgeous Cotty socks in STR for the past three months has been incredible!! I was telling my great-aunt Mimi (aka Winnie) today about all the different socks and she still can't believe it! Then I told her there were a few requests for an Uncle Frank and Grandma socks and, oh, the stories kept coming. I love when she gets in the story-telling mood!
The sale is a big thank you thank you to you all for your support with my knitting designs! All my sock patterns will be $4 from today until Sept. 30!
Cotty 
(oh, and by the way, the stitch number is just perfect to put into Cat Bordhi's Personal Footprints pattern...see Cheeky Attitude did it here!)

Huh. That heel looks like a toe too!
I love that when family gets talking about stories - you can almost see their youth:) What a beautiful heel! And that shawl is a stunner!
Will you be casting on teh Seriously? Thursday night during Grey's Anatomy? That's a pretty color!
Cool! It looks like the heel on my Let it Be sock. I'll be curious to see how close I got to her version. Neat!
I finally cast on Blackberry Brambles. I found a gorgeous Malabrigo sock colour that is working GREAT with the pattern.
Love the colour of your Cat sock. Would love to see a photo of all your socks together. how many do you have in your sock drawer now :0)
Hmmm... must get that book. And find yarn to knit Cottys...
Ooh, her book is out?
Can't wait to see baktus. Miss you!

I'm thinking a trip to B&N might be in order at lunch to look for Cat's book! Very cool heel!
Yes, yes, do the Seriously socks! It's such a fab colorway. I can't wait until it gets cold so I can wear mine!
I've been on the look out for that book lately since I've noticed that kitting books show up a bit early in my area. Sadly, said book has yet to show up in my lys or book store.
I love Cat and a new fav yarn for me is madelintosh yummy stuff:) Hugs Darcy

I can't wait to see your backtus - Might have to cast that one on. Not like I don't have the yarn ;-)
Thanks for the link love.
Love the heel! Yes, you should cast on Seriously? Thursday nite ;)
