The website is up! There are still a couple changes I want to make to it, but it is fully functional. Woohoo! You can check it out here. I debated long and hard, but came to the conclusion that downloadable pdf files were the way to go.
Enjoy!
Yay! I just ordered the 4 I've been waiting for! Thank you so much for making your patternes availible to those of us who couldn't be at Stitches. They're so lovely. :)

Posted by: ivete at March 13, 2007 6:57 AMWhat an accomplishment! It looks great. Congratulations Cookie!
Posted by: Janice at March 13, 2007 7:06 AMWow, these are all gorgeous! I always use a short-row heel on my socks, but these patterns are beautiful enough to be worth knitting exactly as they were designed. Congrats and keep up the good work!

Congratulations - it looks awesome. And that's just the website. You patterns are just glorious!
Posted by: Claudia Dunitz at March 13, 2007 7:52 AMYeah!!! I have been waiting anxiously for these since Stitches. I order up 3 pattern...which I later looked and noticed that they are the three on the front page. I got good taste!
Posted by: Nubiancraftster at March 13, 2007 7:54 AMOh, you have no idea how happy you've made me, Cookie! I've been anxiously waiting for these patterns. I placed my order before I even thought about getting ready for work. And if I had my way, I'd still be at home casting on for 5 different patterns at once...Eh, who needs a paycheck? Oh wait, I do, now. :)
Thanks so much for making these available. I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Posted by: Wendie at March 13, 2007 8:11 AMLove the new website; it looks great. And I agree that downloadable pdf files are the way to go for patterns. We all love our instant gratification so we can cast on immediately. Congrats!

Posted by: shadkitty at March 13, 2007 9:26 AMCookie, each of those socks is extremely beautiful. Nice work.

Posted by: Heidi at March 13, 2007 9:38 AMI've been waiting for this, and I ordered two patterns to start. I'm sure I'll order the rest later.
Posted by: Vera at March 13, 2007 9:45 AMCongratulations and Thank you!!
The socks are awesome, and the ordering process is very easy.
when I saw this this morning, I was extatic! I absolutely LOVE your patterns, cookie. I already bought 2 of the 5 I want...the other 3 have to wait until I get next months yarn budget. (yes, we have a monthly category in our budget called 'Yarn', and it dosen't include needles and notions...LMAO)
Posted by: Jackie at March 13, 2007 10:00 AMCongrats on the new site! All the sock patterns are gorgeous. I'll certainly be ordering!
Posted by: Kelly at March 13, 2007 10:14 AMi'm soooooooooo glad you put them up there. otherwise i was going to have to fly to the west coast and burgle the house of someone who bought them from you at stitches. they're all beautiful. you're a superstar.
Posted by: carolyn at March 13, 2007 10:22 AMThanks for protecting my patterns from carolyn.
Congratulations!
Posted by: freecia at March 13, 2007 10:37 AMYay sock patterns. BTW, did i see you getting your hair cut last weekend? I spent 10 min. trying to figure out where I knew that girl from only to be seriously embarrassed when it dawned on me that I recognized her from a blog. Oh, this modern world...
Posted by: Kaela at March 13, 2007 10:40 AMYay! The website looks great... is it going to stick around for awhile? I really want all of those patterns, but I can't afford to buy them all at once! hehe. They are all amazing.
By the way, I finally found a cable that looks VERY like the one on the Delphine sweater, asymmetricalness and everything! I haven't swatched it yet, but the picture in the book is a winner!
Posted by: Crystal at March 13, 2007 11:25 AMCongrats on the new site! I was so thrilled this morning when I read about it on the blog. I've been looking forward to getting my hands on some of those patterns since I saw the socks posted here. You are one talented designer!
Posted by: Helena at March 13, 2007 11:29 AMFabulous! Just visited teh site and downloaded - third tim's the charm. I almost thought I was going to have to bug you after the first two download attempts failed, but I now have the lovely pattern in hand and am ready to cast on! Thanks Cookie!

Posted by: loribird at March 13, 2007 1:28 PMCongratulations, Cookie! I've been regretting not buying the Millicent sock pattern at Stitches, but now I can get it. Thank you!
Posted by: Jennifer at March 13, 2007 1:52 PMThanks and congrats! I bought one today and will probably buy more over the next weeks lol.

Hey is anyone going to start a Cookie A. Knit-Along?
Posted by: Opal at March 13, 2007 2:03 PMYAY! Thanks Cookie! Your patterns rock and I can't wait to knit them up! :)
Posted by: Jill at March 13, 2007 2:04 PMThank you for getting the website up so quickly. I'm sure I'm not the only impatient knitter, dying to knit your new inspired designs. I've got my pattern; now if only my yarn would get here!
Posted by: Valerie at March 13, 2007 2:08 PMExcellent - I'm off to buy some wonderful sock patterns!
Posted by: Nanette at March 13, 2007 3:07 PMCookie, the website looks great! I absolutely love the sock patterns you have available! Congrats!
Posted by: AJ at March 13, 2007 3:53 PMThank you so much for this -- the patterns are gorgeous! I especially appreciate the wide range of sizing options in the knee-highs. I have purchased my two favorites for now (German Stockings and Thelonious), but I will undoubtedly be back for more.
Posted by: Laura at March 13, 2007 4:32 PMCongrats! I've only recently made the connection that 60% of the socks on my to-knit list are creations of yours. So I am definitely very excited to see more really fun patterns!
Posted by: ann at March 13, 2007 7:12 PMYay! I love your sock patterns! And your site looks wonderful.
Posted by: Bee at March 13, 2007 7:15 PMCongratulations! Lots of eye candy in there, that's for sure!
Now the big decision- which to knit first?
Posted by: frecklegirl jess at March 13, 2007 7:40 PMOooohh...wow. I love your sock patterns. Although, I wish I had more yarn. I've knit your socks before and have absolutely pleased with the results. :D And so was my mom.
Posted by: Teresa at March 14, 2007 7:22 AMYour patterns are wonderful! Are you going to have your shawl patterns available as well?
Very stylish, lovley, beautiful. Felicidades! You are the queen of socks!

I am very excited . . . I purchased the three that I want . . . now it just a matter of making a commitment to doing them . . . well, maybe after I finish my MBA in June.
Posted by: Mary Lynn in Cleveland at March 19, 2007 6:23 AMThank you thank you thank you--I am so excited to get started....but on which pair?
Posted by: Ashley at March 19, 2007 7:14 PMWOW! I am so glad I found your website. Amazing! I am just learning to knit and I can't wait to learn to read a pattern so I can try some of your sock patterns. They are so beautiful! Why didn't I learn to knit a couple of decades ago?!?
Posted by: amy at March 22, 2007 8:12 PMHello Cookie, I really like the website. Congratulations!The socks are just fabulous. If you are around this Sunday, a group of us from knit-one-one will be sitting, drinking Blue Bottle coffee, and knitting at the Temescal Farmers' Market. And we would love you to join us!

Posted by: Síle at March 22, 2007 9:01 PMI was lucky enough to buy the pattern set at Stitches, but too busy until now with other socks to start any. Instead of the Monkey socks I was going to make, I started knitting the Mona socks last night in a solid navy Sisu yarn. I like the pattern a lot, and it's really pretty easy once you get the rhythm. I think I'd prefer seed stitch instead of ribbing in the rondels, but that's my next design. Congratulations and good luck!
