Uploaded by catbordhi on Sep 3, 2009
This video introduces you to the key elements of my book, PERSONAL FOOTPRINTS FOR INSOUCIANT SOCK KNITTERS. You'll also see about a dozen of the new designs from the book, which is to be released on September 24, 2009. More videos will follow this one, to use alongside the instructions in the book. Look for videos whose titles begin like this: Cat Bordhi–PERSONAL FOOTPRINTS. You can also find a listing on my website, www.catbordhi.com.

I had given up on knitting socks after numerous unsatisfying attempts. As fate would have it, I came across this video. I am so excited about jumping back in and giving it another try with Cat's guidance! I have ordered the book. I await with needles in hand, an open heart, and a smile on my face :)

Awesome - the only way I can describe your videos. It has become a refreshing knitter's habit - I just watch each video and am amazed at what I pick up each time - plus it's a great calming therapy for me.
Thank You, Cat - you are the best!!

OH MY GOODNESS!! I cannot believe what you've done in "engineering" perfectly-fitting (& easy) socks WITH NO STRESS! I've heard your name, of course, but for some reason never saw any of your videos. THIS engineering marvel of a sock just BLOWS ME AWAY. I love it & you for imagining it. I'm going to "one-night" your book (small town=no LYS)........just can't wait.

wow! Cat you never cease to amaze me! i watched most of this video without blinking. i have struggled so with sock knitting! heels and holes and asymmetry and bad fit. others would have given up long ago. but i KNEW there just had to be a way! it's only yarn after all. it must bend to my will.
you always share these tricks and tips that remind me of that. you are a genius! i aspire to be Insouciant with my sock knitting. can't wait to try this.

I have large feet (for a woman) and have wanted to learn how to make feminine socks to wear.
I was very pleased to discover that you're coming to Canada soon and am very much looking forward to meting you at Wool & Wicker in Steveston, BC next February!

Oops; that last was from me...thought my name would show up. Babs.

Cat...Wow! Cannot wait to get this book. I can see the videos will be the icing on the cake. On another note, thanks again for encouraging me to attend the Sock Summit; it was truly awe-inspiring. (I have dropped the word awesome from my vocabulary..."The pizza is awesome, dude!" just doesn't do it for m -lol ). You are a gift.

It was a great pleasure to meet you in person and share some time with you. Thanks for the inspirational Chat and for this great video. I will definitely get your book and hope to promote it around. It looks very interesting and challenging. Thanks for all you do to improve our crafts.

Hi Andy- It was an enormous honor to spend time with you and all the guys at the MFKR. Your knitting is inspirational, and your crocheted hats are so stunning that I could spend days with you learning your techniques. I seriously hope you will publish.

Knittersbookshelf(dot)com will ship my books to Europe at a very reasonable shipping cost and they give great service. I believe they charge much less for shipping than Amazon.

I'll be *rushing* down to my LYS to order a copy. Cat, you've blown my mind with this one. Again. AGAIN!
Next thing I need to do is use the same technique to knit a cardigan, with afterthought sleeves. Your work is inspiration, distilled - thanks so much for sharing!

You'd have to knit the sweater sideways to insert the sleeves, because yarn unravels sideways. Although it would be interesting to try inserting sleeves horizontally.
