swoon! i love love love handmade socks, even if i loathe the process of making them. every time i see gorgeous socks like this in a pile, though, it makes me want to pick up sock needles and give them just ONE MORE TRY.
well done!

no doubt! very beautiful time spent!

Beautiful. I love sock knitting. I love the innovative patterns and fabulous color choices. I must confess, though, that I don't actually enjoy WEARING them, because I fret over matching the rest of my clothes to my socks. So I knit socks for myself in solid colors (or very muted variegated yarns) in a 3x1 rib that I love and goes with everything. My mother and sisters get the other socks. Everyone is happy.

Is there a sock book coming along next?
Posted by: Kim | September 17, 2009 at 18:49
Definitely time well spent. I have not yet braved knitting a sock, though intend to one day. Gorgeous colours.

Those are fabulous Jane. They make me want to start another pair-naturally since your posts are so inspiring!

What a happy picture!
Posted by: Sarah R | September 17, 2009 at 23:13
WOW!! Inspirational yet again! What a spectacular array. I have knitted one (how sad) pair of socks, but just recently received two lots of wool to knit more so that's something at least.

I wish someone would knit me such lovely socks. They must make one's toes dance by themselves...
Posted by: Maria | September 18, 2009 at 01:06
I'll have one of each! How I wish someone would knit ME a pair of socks!
Posted by: Jenny | September 18, 2009 at 01:36

Oh my! I'd love to just roll about in that lovely lot of socks :D!
Posted by: Ginny | September 18, 2009 at 21:22
I want that third pair down from the top on the left. These are all sooo cool. Love the photo.

Any project worked on (even the unfinished ones) seem like a diary of that time - where I was, who was sick or well, what classes the kids were in that I was watching, what was in the oven... by the time I DO finish anything I always feel like it's a story of it's own and I feel a little sad to part with it - even simply in having it off the hooks or machine or hoop... That photo of all those makes me gasp with how many moments must be represented in each of the stripes, colors, dots and zig zags... and only you really know the whole story. Very cool. By the way, whomever posted that comment on Amazon was missing a link mentally, obviously.

Oh my. I love all of your knitting and all of your quilting and all of your baking and...will you adopt me? I come with two ready-made grandchildren (4 and 2), as well as a husband, dog, and two cats. Just let me know when I ought to start packing and we'll be there in a few days!! :oP You inspire me!
Posted by: Jessica | September 21, 2009 at 22:17
beautiful and inspiring. Thank you. Do you have a basic sock pattern that you love to use?
Posted by: Shannon B | September 21, 2009 at 22:20
Love love them all! Can't wait to learn to knit socks! :)
Posted by: Amy | September 22, 2009 at 00:22
Those are GORGEOUS socks and I love seeing them laid out like that!
Posted by: Daisy | September 22, 2009 at 14:39
gorgeous and inspiring!
Posted by: wendy | September 22, 2009 at 19:55
Oh, that made my day. It's rainy and gray and blah here in Michigan. So glad your sock drawer(s) is/are so happy.
Best photo in a long time... from a purely heartfelt perspective. Sometimes it's the heart, (as well as the eyes), which needs inspiration and encouragement.
Heading into the cold season, you've given me magic. Thanks.
