I have notice that all of the socks I have knitted have been Nancy Bush Patterns, and as I start a new one I think, "you know I should really knit a sock designed by someone else". Then I think - "well that's stupid, you should knit the patterns that you want to knit" So I really love the idea of doing a knitting compendium. It's a very cool idea. I own all three of her sock books and have knit from them all. Right now I have just started the Country Socks from Folk Socks. Oh, and I just realized, the project spectrum colors of blue and grey. You probably already know this, but for several years Nancy has been the knitting contributor to a magazine called Piecework (a sister publication of Interweave Knits). She has lots of really cool patterns in the back issues of this magazine - including scarves, shawls, mittens, and of course, socks. This is very interesting to me – the whole idea of a compendium.

I have the book, but have only looked at it in passing. I bought it when I went to a Lace Knitting workshop with her last spring/summer. It was a great class and the LYS sponsoring her had all of her books out. Since I had most of them, but not the Folk Knitting, I bought it while I was there. I thought that I might like to have it, even if I wasn't necessarily that interested in it right now, odd, huh? Oh, I love that pattern (Juta’s Stockings).

Probably half the socks I've knit (or more!) in the last year came out of "Knitting Vintage Socks," my first NB knitting library addition. Since then I've aquired "Knitting on the Road" and "Folk Socks," but have yet to do a pattern from either. I really just love her designs and find her patterns so easy to follow. I will definitely be adding photos to the Flickr pool! I know it’s not an official knitalong, but I would love to join you in your sock-knitting tribute to Nancy Bush!

It was such a wonderful treat to have run into you today while out. If you only knew all the little "delays" in our day that lead us to that place at that moment. . . . . it's amazing how these things seem to work out. DH, DS and I spent a good deal of time talking about that after we parted ways with you. It made the day trip that much more special to have been able to see you again and to meet Kris and the rest of your family. I'll be sure to let you know when we are going to be in the DC area (cherry blossoms and summer vacation). That way we can have some PLANNED time (and knitting time >wink Oh my goodness!

We had a nasty little storm over here, but it's since moved along. Your socks are so lovely. I've been wanting badly to knit a pattern from Knitting Vintage Socks (which was a Christmas present) but haven't yet decided which pattern to knit. Nancy Bush's socks are so amazing!
