(More customer reviews)Another reviewer has put the most important part last. This is a reprint of a great classic. Do NOT buy this book if you already have Zilboorg's Fancy Feet! Unless of course you want to make someone a gift or be sure you have copies at your beach house, the ranch, AND your Paris flat! I loved Fancy Feet and drooled on the pictures quite a while before making socks. Anna's instructions are clear, but you do have to take charge, chart out your design and *think* a bit. This kind of knitting becomes a meditation. The designs are wonderful, and anybody with feet can take pleasure in such happy socks, if only on winter evenings at home. I find that using the shortest 11-12" metal circular needles (Addi Turbo from Patternworks) allows me to do the two-handed color pattern knitting around and around without stopping to change double pointed needles. Once you figure out what size needles get you 6 st/in in the color patterns (or whatever gauge you please), the actual knitting is a joy.
