About the Crazy Toes
& Heels group:
Can't wait to get this...after 100+ cuff
down, I want to try toe up. Your book comes highly
recommended. Thanks! ...Janet
Cast-on this morning for my first top-up sock
using Aloha
cast-on and all of the little tricks in the book.
Hey.. It's easier than I thought it would be and it really looks like a
sock
toe... ;-) Now onward and upwards.
Well done, Mary, on a well written
book. Jerry
I am really impressed with this sock book. I have just about
every one
that has been written lately,
but this one really intrigues me. What a beautiful job you did
putting it
all together, Mary Ann. … Mary
Thank you, thank you!!!! I REALLY
appreciate your
help. On this and
oh so many other things that you aren't even
aware of
because I just
consult the wonderful book!!! ...Andrea
Just a note to let you know that I rec'd your
book and I
can't wait to start reading it! I haven't knitted but one pair of
socks
but I am
looking forward to knitting lots more,
especially with
such a wonderful tool as your book. I am a visual person and this book
seems
to be the perfect "how to" with all the
pictures and your wording is so easy to understand!
Thanks for a great book! Cheryl
Words fail me! The work you put into that
book! I've never seen anything so comprehensive in all my life.
I am so glad that I bought it. I will sing it's praises to
all the
knitters that I know. I have put off trying toe
up socks for 4 years but the next pair I start will be toe
up. Have
to finish 3 second socks first though.
If you were here I'd hug you!
Warmly, Glenda
Just wanted to tell you that I received your
Crazy Toes
and Heels book and it is absolutely wonderful!
As a new sock knitter, it will be invaluable to me. And how
nice
that the book was in the fabric bag,
just the right size for socks. :>) Thanks so much for
writing
this wonderful book! ...Carole
Mary...
Your
Great Book...
I know you are probably tired of hearing this but..... Your book is the
best
sock book I have ever seen!!!
Your instructions are easily understood and the pictures are a
BIG help.
I just wanted to let you know
how grateful I am for you and your book. I use the magic loop
instead of
dpns or two circulars and like
I said before your directions are VERY clear. Thanks again and keep up
the good
work!!! Happy Knitting, Jill ....
Thank you for such a great book. I have
learned so
much and finally was
able to master the Kitchener stitch! Barb
First off, thank you so much for the beautiful
book. I can't tell you how impressed I am. I would like
to purchase another copy for my mother for
Christmas.
Kindest regards, Penny...
I received my order for your book last week and
first,
what a nice touch to put it in a useful fabric bag.
I am amazed at the amount of information I've learned and I'm
only on
page 20! I love the directions
for the first stitch for the long tail cast on. I've always used
the slip
stitch and I usually put it in 2 or 3
times before I accept that annoying little "bump." No more
bump! Thanks for putting your knowledge
into book form and making it available. Arlene...
Hi, Just finished a pair of toe up socks
w/short
row heel. both on twocircs....I am overwhelmed by

I have been knitting for many years,
but because Iam a visual person, I have always had problems with
patterns... you havesolved it...Bravo.....Jenu
Mary Ann,
All hail the Queen of socks!!! Your book is wonderful!!! You are a
soooooooo
smart!!!
I could never have done such a wonderful book.I take my hat off to you
(or
should I say "socks" .
Thank you for your prompt delivery... Kim
MaryAnn,
I just got your book last week in the mail and I gotta' tell you,
it is
just fabulous! What great pics and good
step by step instructions, things that others don't think are
necessary,
and things that are difficult to know
how to do without actually "seeing" them illustrated. You
have truly outdone yourself and I wish you
continued success with sales of your wonderful book! Laura
Mary Ann Beattie,
I just got your book in the mail. Thank you for the personalized
page!!! I have just skimmed through it and it looks
wonderful!!!! NA
You have been very detailed in your instructions with lots of photos.
I"m really impressed. I just started sock knitting this past May
and
am
having a blast. Hopefully your short row heel with NO holes will help me
out.
NA. just very happy customer. Ann
Things I LOVE about Crazy Toes and Heels -
(1) The
CAST-ON is
really great. All the others I tried were too fiddly and I
ultimately was
not satisfied with the results. Yours was EASY and looks great.
(2) The PHOTOGRAPHS really help to visualize what you should be
doing.
Most books fail to include good photos or illustrations. Yours
are
fantastic.
(3) When learning something new it is easy to tense up.
Your
friendly WRITING STYLE sets a person at ease.
(4) The HEEL is unique. No gussets to pick up and yet it
looks like
a regular gusset/flap heel.
Now let me know when I can start singing the praises of Crazy Toes and
Heels on
all my knitting lists! I can't wait to brag on it. :)
