Hi! I don’t knit but came across the sugar cookies randomly. I have been thinking of the cookies every since and decided to make them. They are awesome! My husband said they “are the best sugar cookie ever!”. Just thought i would write this so everyone else will make and eat them!! Thanks a bunch and I think I’ll try the chicken cheese casserole next! Carla

Hi Sheri, I have to say I really look forward to reading your blog because you’re always so cheerful and funny! You have a lovely family and I think it’s great that they’re so involved in the Loopy Ewe.

I’m home sick today and my fiance told me, “sleep! knit! drink lots of orange juice!” so I’m going to follow his advice. I think I might cast on the sweet georgia yarn! When it got here I thought it was the most horrible hideous mistake, but when I wound it into a ball it looked luscious, and it’s been peeping seductively out of my knitting basket all week! It’s going to become Mom socks, if I can bear to give them up…conveniently, we have the same size feet, so I don’t have to decide who gets a pair until they’re all done!

A great big welcome to all the new Loopy Groupies! We are the new Ya Ya’s of the knitting world ala Sheri. Maybe I should say Yah Yah’s because we have Sheri and she gave us The Loopy Ewe.

I cast on the J. Knits Superwash Me – Sock yarn in the color Boston immediately when it arrived. I’m going to knit a pair of Widdershins socks in the cable version. This pattern is by Knitty.com. Let me tell you, this yarn is just gorgeous! Wonderful to knit with and very soft…but, does not split. When I wound it into a ball I thought the blue was not that varigated or stripped, however it is knitting up into a beautiful classy strip. I’m very impressed….love it! I NEED MORE.

Also, Sheri sold me on Zoe’s Kitty’s pad. I received a shipping confirmation that my cat (Jake) will soon have one as well. He told me he couldn’t wait. I showed him Zoe’s picture and I hope you don’t mind Sheri, but I think he has a little crush on her.

Oh, and may I have one of your cookies? yum! :~)

Love the idea of a Loopie colorway. Why not use your banner colors – white and black with a touch of red and celery.

OK, like I wasn’t already going to order again, but now I am WAY motivated – i wanna be a Loopy Groupie too!

Ana, I second the Knitting Pure & Simple pattern, and there is also a way easy pattern in Sally Melville’s ‘The Purl Stitch’.

There’s a basic cuff down sock pattern in the Knit Simple winter 2006/2007 edition. The pattern is for three different weights of yarn and for babies/children and adults.

I’m finally knitting up some of my Yarn Pirate and I can see why it’s knitting daughter’s favorite. I’m making baby socks (Ann Budd’s free pattern on the Piecework website) and they’re looking great! Now I can’t wait for more of that beautiful yarn to come in.

Sheri, i loved my gift bag, it was so nice and extra yarn too. I suspect I need to start hiding it now. I am loving the sweet georgia yarn that I ordered so soft and wonderful to knit with. I am holding the yarn pirate yarn that I ordered, and can hardly wait to start that, but since I have 3 different projects going right now I think that I willl have to restrain myself. I may make the cookies, my college daughter and her boyfrined came home for the weekend, and they look hungry.

I too am jealous of the Starbucks Barista in the family. That is one of my guilty pleasures, white chocolate mocha latte is my weakness. Love all the new Opal yarns, I am so glad Valentines is just around the corner. I will have to try out your cookie recipe, my family will love them.
