If you're here, you have probably heard the buzz about Cat Bordhi's book, New Pathways for Sock Knitters: Book One.
Katrina, Donna, and I (along with a lot of other Portland-area knitters) attended a book signing last week and were wowed by Cat's talk and the new sock architectures ("sockitechtures") she's come up with. We even got to see the socks in person . . .
Here's hoping you'll grab yourself a copy of the book and join us in experimenting with these new designs. It's going to be a fabulous adventure and we want lots of company! *grin*
If you'd like to knit along with us, simply leave a comment here (please include your email address), or send an email to amandawoodruff AT gmail DOT com.
Thanks! I can't wait to cast on!

Cat Bordhi's newest sock book is changing (and challenging!) the way we think about knitting socks. Join friends & fellow sock knitters in figuring out these new architectures.

OOOH! OOOH! As soon as I finish my current socks OTN, I'm planning to tackle Cat's book. An Along sounds perfect! Coreolis is first on my list, I think. :)
Ooh, I'd like to join! I'm going to attempt the Sky socks as soon as I can find my second needle... :)
oooh! oooh! I'm knitting a pair of Riverbed, and next I want to do a pair of Coriolis that I've had in my head since April!
I'd love to join! Missed the book signing but bought the book and immediately started reading and knitting. So far I've got a couple of useless little learning socks and a nice pair that will go back to Mongolia with my cousin to keep his youngest child's feet warm this winter (they're missionaries there). I love the architectures and am swatching now for my first master pattern. Yippee!
Please add me.

I'd like to join. Missed the book signing (didn't know about it) but I had been watching for the book to come out after seeing Cat on Knitty Gritty doing the Coreolis socks. I'm going to work my way through the book in order doing the baby socks. I have 4 small grandchildren so the socks are perfect size!
Would love to join -- Thanks!!

This is terrific! I got the book yesterday, fell asleep with it on my lap, and am chomping at the bit to get started - couple of things to finish first, and then I'm in...
Me too! Me too! This will be fun!
I saw this mentioned on Ravelry. I'd love to join!
I mentioned that I had seen Cat demonstrate her Coriolis sock on Knitty Gritty (usually the DIY channel). I just checked and the show will repeat on Sept. 14 at 7:00am on HGTV. Knitty Gritty is shown on MWF on HGTV at 7am.
Ok, I got some STR Philospher's Stone in lightweight and I'm ready to cast on!!
Sign me up! I got the book a week ago and just dipped my toes in. I really want to sit and savor it and just haven't had the free time yet. *sigh*

Cat's book is so inspiring! I'd love to be part of the knitalong...I was sorry to miss her book signing in Portland...but I'm loving the book. Saw your link to this blog in Ravelry...such inspiration!
I'd love to join, too. I'm having a tough time deciding which sock to make after the two practice booties. :-)
Sign me up! I've finished one Ocean Toes sock and I've started a Jeweled Steps one also. I love this book!

Count me in!!! LOVIN this book!!!!
So far I've made one baby/toddler sock of each architecture and I'm on the 2nd sock of the Spiraling Coriolis.
Got here from the Ravelry Group. Thanx for the links to the errata and all the videos. I didn't even know the videos existed! I'll have to check them out.
you should be able to get my email from blogger, but just in case...
grawey6 at gmail dot com. I'm TracyGP in Ravelry.
Just rec'd a copy of the book from my SP - I'd love to join the fun!
Please count me in! I'm michele@woodenboat.com. I have a half dozen socks on the needles right now, but am slowly but surely finishing each pair and then will be ready to jump in with Cat's great new designs.
I am listed on the blog, but it is not showing up on Blogger. I probably forgot to request to be added. I'm tanasayATcomcastDOTnet. Thanks for moderating the blog and the Ravelry forum.
I bought the book 5 whole days ago and managed to wait till today to attack it (trying to finish another sock, but the temptation was just too great.) I would love to join the group (already hopped on in Ravelry).
Thanks so much!

I would like to join this KAL, also. I have had the book for about one month. I've done the Coriolis socks, three baby practice socks and am working on the Woven Ridge and the Philosopher's House Socks. I love this book and have been wishing for a KAL for the book. Please sign me up!!!

Howdy Gang!!! I'm loving Cat's Book and I even got to see her in person in Sunnyvale. Whoo Hooo. I've finished two sky test socks (first one was done a bit big) and I've just complete my first Little Coriolis. I love them. My email is mwadeATiiiDOTcom. And I have a blog too, http://socktopusDOTblogspotDOTcom
Thanks for letting me join!!!
I can't wait to receive my book - should be this week, or maybe next. I'm sort of afraid to try these new techniques - I haven't used circs yet. I love dpn's though so I'm wondering if it would be possible to convert the patterns. I guess I'll find out when I get the book! I just got invited to Ravelry & joined this group there. Looking forward to the adventure.
Hi! I just sw the group on Ravelry and would love to be part of the KAL. My email is jadebld@verizon.net. Thanks!
Hi, I just got my book and would love to join you all.
May I be included even though I can't start the actual knitting yet (too many other things to finish first!)? I'm so excited to try these socks! I'm knittingwithapurpose@gmail.com (my name is Lissie). I just made some stitch markers today (and blogged about them)!
I'd love to join your KAL! I joined the group on Ravelry (ID: Knottyknitter) and my e-mail is thorlac@gmail.com
Thanks!
I bought the book in Friday Harbor (Cat's hometown) and have been reading it ever since...I haven't tried anything yet but really want to do the Spiralling Coriolis.
I just started my first little sky training sock, so I'd like to join! My email is magistra@gmail.com .
I'd like to join the KAL cuz I need help. I'm yarnfloozy AT gmail DOT com.

I would love to join!!! I just received my book last week and I cannot wait to start.. Ü
I'd like to join too, if I'm not late. I got the book from my sp11 and now I'm knitting my first adult socks (Tantalizing socks) and I have knitted small learning socks.
Hi there - please may I join? I'm over in the UK, and just got my book yesterday. I have a couple of socks OTN to finish, and I need to do some US-UK translating before I can start the wee sky socks ;-) But I'd love to join you all.

Hello Amanda,
I came across this group on Ravelry and would like to join. I just love the new sock architecture and want to try all the different patterns!
Gisela
Hey folks --
I got the book for Christmas (thank you, Amazon wishlist!), and immediately headed for the Ravelry group I had seen back when. I'd love to join the knitalong here, if you'll have me!
Can I join? I am on Ravelry as Spindledreams. Have my first sock to the heel and am totally confused now
Hi, I'd like to join. I've already knit a pair of Coriolis socks and am converting the Flow Motion socks (not in the book, but based on the Upstream pattern) from double-stranded to single-stranded.
I'd love to join too...I just found this blog through Ravelry. I am working on a pair of socks for my niece using the Riverbed architecture.
Birdy
Yeah, I found this through Ravelry too. ^_^ I checked the book out last night (low book budget) and my husband was laughing at me. The rule is at least 3 patterns I would knit before it gets added to "The List". Well, by the end of the book, I had yet to find a pattern I wouldn't make! LOL
I would like to join the blog. Thank you!
Just found this, having. Also just bought New Pathways :)
I'm Susie, ClematisKnitter on Ravelry and I live in SW London, UK.
