Plus, many of the books I author are contributor-driven so I get to have projects from such rock-star designers as Veronik Avery, Pam Allen, Mags Kandis, Deborah Newton, Kristin Nicholas, Shirley Paden, Vicki Square, and Kathy Zimmerman in my personal possession (albeit for a short time). That alone is enough to spoil any knitter.
But right now I am reduced to puddle of jelly by the collection of socks sitting right here in my home office. I’m working on a book for Interweave (tentatively titled Designing Knitted Socks; due out early 2011) and am happy to boast that the designer list reads like the Who’s Who of sock knitting. The socks have started to arrive and already I have the works of Cookie A, Kathryn Alexander, Veronik Avery, Evelyn Clark, Chrissy Gardiner, Priscilla Gibson-Roberts, Anne Hanson, Melissa Morgan Oakes, Deborah Newton, Meg Swanson, and Anna Zilboorg in my very own possession. For the most part, I keep them hermetically sealed in a plastic bin but I let them out in the sun today for a group photo.

You are spoiled! Oh how I would love to gaze on that pile of socks and then sneak a pair on and the another and then another.
I look forward to seeing this book. It sounds wonderful.
Just too pretty. Thanks for posting. Look forward to the book. Looking forward to 2011 already - my retirement year. :)
How fun; I've spent a good long time staring at the photo trying to guess who made which sock - it's a great collection :)
The socks are beautiful!! And thanks for reminding me of how spoiled I am; sometimes I forget.
