Love it! Fantastic post Laura!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the flea with me….:)
From Libbey:
Socks have always seemed a bit daunting to me, I would love to try out Cat’s Sweet Tomato Heel Socks and get over that fear!
My father-in-law keeps asking me to knit him socks…I’ve never attempted to make them. I think your Cat’s Sweet Tomato Heel Socks will be a purchase in my near future.
Love Cat’s new Sweet Tomato heels. Making socks is so much faster and easier now.
Tomatoes heels is the only one I don’t already have sharing on facebook
Tomato heels sounds intriguing – sharing on FaceBook
The new book, Cat’s Sweet Tomato Heel book, looks great!

Love it!

A Second treasury of Magical Knitting is the one for me.
All because I had the pleasure of taking one of Cat’s classes at a LYS in Lakewood, Wa. Best thing Cat taught me that day was we all learn at our own pace.
I am so interested in the sWeet tomato heel sock….I love the cover too
Great website. What’s sWeet tomato hell sock? Enquiring minds want to know.
I’d love a treasury of magical knitting – I already have the second one!
Cat’s work is amazing and magical!
I love Cat! I already have Sweet Tomato, so I’d like The Second Treasury of Magical Knitting. Here’s hoping!
As a truly left handed knitter, it would be SO amazing to be able to call one of these books my own..I love Cat’s style and plain speaking. So awesome!
What a nice place to come rest and read after putting the children to bed! Cat Bordhi, I love your fb posts…you are such a gentle soul. thanks for making a mom-woman place!
i really need to try that heel…just ordered a ton of sock yarn for holiday presents!
Cat it seems wonderful to be in your world. Can’t find the jealous button.

Cat’s sweet tomato heel socks looks great !!!
A Treasury of Magical Knitting is on my wish list.
I’d love to have ANY of Cat’s books; have only been knitting basic cuff-down socks since I started knitting socks. Her books would present a welcome challenge.
Great site! Love the links to other blogs. I really must try the mason jar herbs. My new kitchen will have a garden window!
BTW, I posted about you on facebook.
I have several of Cat’s books and I love them! Knitting moebious is fun and challenging! I would pick the Sweet Tomato Heel’s Socks book as I like to knit socks and love to learn new techniques. Cat, you live such an extraordinary life! Yeah for you! I will sure send all my knitty friends over her and give you a shout out on Facebook!
The kitty in the Second Magical Knitting…is so cute!
Peace.
I learned to knit doing the moebius with video instruction! Love it!
I’d love to win the Sweet Tomato Heel book. I am on Ravelry too.. like who isn’t now?
Love this new site,even if my baby is over 30! Much luck.
I love the look and feel of this magazine! I’m sure I’ll enjoy it a lot. And yes, I do need a bonbon break, today specially, thank you!
I can’t choose one of Cats books!!! I have one (not any of these ones) and I treasure it! So anyone I will completely ADORE.
Good luck with the magazine!
third book please!!!
Roxann, Your email is not going through. Could you please PM us your email address? Thank you.
I love all things Cat, Lucy and Stephanie! Their adventures are almost as much fun as their knitting tales. It is so wonderful that they take the time to share with us. I will post on facebook and my ravelry name is the same as my email – knitwmyn@gmail.com
If anyone can teach me to enjoy knitting socks Cat would be the one! Would love to try these!
I would love the Sweet Tomato Heels EBook. I just love making socks and I have been wanting to try out Cat’s newest invention for some time. I thoroughly enjoy reading about the adventures of Cat, Lucy, and Stephanie and enjoy taking classes from them in the various venues. I actually started my sock knitting adventures with Cat’s book on knitting socks on two circular needles.
I will post on Facebook and on twitter. Good luck with this great website.
