We just returned home from Knitting Camp.  Cookie's classes were amazing.  She brought ALL her socks with her.  WOW!!  There were some amazing socks in her pile. 

Did you know that she has another sock book coming out?

knitsockloveFrom Cookie's website "Knit.Sock.Love., the upcoming book from Cookie A chronicles her love affair with knitting exquisitely detailed socks. This volume will showcase 20 mesmerizing sock patterns - some old and some new - with vibrant photography by Laura Kicey, styled by Sarah Beaver."

Knitosophy
We opened a large box from Dream in Color this afternoon.

This is how Dream in Color is defining their new yarn
"Knitting+Philosophy+Art= Knitosophy.  (Knit-awe-sophy)  Dream in Color is very proud to introduce our latest yarn.  Dyed on our Smooshy base sock yarn, Knitosophy is bright and flashy.  In fact we even named our unique dyeing technique "flash" dyeing to reflect the bright, fun way the colors look in the skein.  Each skein is completely unique.  The colors play randomly throughout the yarn.  There is no telling how the color variation will knit up.  Each color has a unique tag with a painting and an inspirational quote (the art and philosophy of Knitosophy)."
