Cookie A. Sock Swap II

Launch gallery slideshow

Swap Homepage:http://kerryknitsinslny.blogspot.com/
Swap Coordinator:kerryknits (contact)
Swap categories: Knitting  Yarn 
Number of people in swap:14
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:April 1, 2008
Date items must be sent by:April 21, 2008
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

You'll have 1 partner and will send them a sock pattern (a PURCHASED pattern, NO freebies from the net, please!) from Cookie A. as well as the yarn (Please don't skimp on the yarn! Natural fiber content must be at least 75%.) to knit the socks with. You don't need to include the same yarn as recommended in the pattern but it does need to be the same weight and the yardage must be sufficient to knit the sock pattern. Also, please be sure to choose a yarn that will compliment the pattern. For example, a self patterning or striping yarn might not work well for most of her patterns as the sock design would get lost in the yarn pattern.

We'll have 2 weeks to get the package in the mail. If you already own any of Cookie's patterns please list it in the comments.

That's all there is to it! Fun and easy, right?

Please don't signup if your rating is less than 4.85. If you are new to swap-bot you must have a complete profile to participate. No NO SENDS!

Woohoo!!! I was hoping there would be another one, AFTER the new patterns came out!

Can you post the URL for the sock patterns you're referencing? This sounds interesting and I would like to browse them before I decide to participate or not.

Cookie A's sale website is here: http://www.cookiea.com/

She also has some free patterns in the knitty.com archives.

I am recently ran across Cookie A patterns. I don't own any, but would love to try twisted flower...

staygio911 03/12/2008 #

Kerry if her new patterns arent released by the closing date are you going to change it. In the last Cookie A swap I um 'accidently' bought all the '07 patterns

mooome7 03/15/2008 #

I'm in...I would LOVE to get her newest patterns! I own every one of her older ones already...even knitted 1 once....never finished it but hey, that's a start right??!! LOL!

kerryknits 03/15/2008 #

Yeah, I'll keep an eye on her site and if they aren't out by the 21st or 22nd I'll adjust the start date of this swap so we can get the new ones. :-)

5elementknitr 03/15/2008 #

The only one I own is Thelonius

Zenifer 03/19/2008 #

I already have Thelonious and Marilinda. I would most like to try Mingus, Flicker, Gothic Spire, Mona, or from the new collection Django ... however, really any of her patterns would be great! :)

Shash 03/19/2008 #

Yippee!! I LOVED this swap last time. What a great idea, Kerry! I already own Mingus.

kerryknits 03/21/2008 #

I just added a week to the swap since the new patterns still aren't out yet. I'll keep an eye on them. :-)

kerryknits 03/21/2008 #

I would love to receive any of the new patterns. I do have Twisted Flower, Rhiannon, and Marilinda.

mooome7 03/24/2008 #

I have all of her sock patterns except for the ones not out yet..so I have no problem waiting for the new ones to be available...am I obsessed ya think?! LOL!!!

Suzanne 03/27/2008 #

Dear Pal,

I have NO Cookie A patterns, and I dislike the color purple. Otherwise, go nuts!

Can't wait!

Just added another week. :-)

staygio911 03/31/2008 #

kerryknits 04/ 1/2008 #

They're out, they're out!!! I'll leave the dates as is unless you want me to push it up so we can start earlier. :-)

olsencjw 04/ 2/2008 #

Ok, I have never done Cookie A, but from the old ones I would like Twisted Flower. From the new ones... either Django or Stricken.

Oh partner, I love most colors except tomato red. And I could really use some richly hued neutral socks. Prefer solids or subtle varigations. :)

5elementknitr 04/ 2/2008 #

I own Thelonius and just received Twisted Flower in another swap!

Valerie 04/ 2/2008 #

hi partner!

I was in the last Cookie A swap but am still waiting for my package, so I don't know what pattern I have! The new ones sure are pretty, though.

I love all colours in any combination, but am allergic to mohair.

CrystalStitches 04/ 7/2008 #

Hi Pal!!

I would love to have Trystero. I am infatuated with any color but orange, with an extreme passion for greens, blues, pinks, reds,....oh who am I kidding?? You choose :)

mooome7 04/26/2008 #

I just received my package & it was wonderful! Everything came wrapped in lovely paper & included The Trystero pattern, all pages in separate document protectors ( a very nice touch!)..a beautiful hank of Ruby Sapphire sock yarn in orangy/red colors...even a bag of coffee!! thank you so much, Lady1380, for my awesome package!!

and to my partner, please forgive me if mine arrives late...here in arizona we still use horse & wagon to send our mail (or so it always seems) & most things take awhile to arrive...so I'm apologizing beforehand, just in case!! LOL!!!
