(More customer reviews)This book is advertised as a "beginner's guide." Most beginner loom-knitters start with the looms readily available in the craft stores, most notably Knifty Knitters, and other extra large gauge looms. The House Socks project uses the pink long Knifty Knitter with clip, but *all* of the other 50+ projects make use of smaller-gauge looms. If you happen to have a 64-peg extra fine gauge knitting loom, you're in good shape, but I don't know many beginners who have one of these, as they are hard to find, and often made to order.
That an extra-fine-gauge loom is required should be stated upfront in the book's description!
The book has a comprehensive introduction section that goes into detail about stitches, yarns, and the anatomy of socks. There is a nice variety of projects, several of which I found appealing, but I'm afraid I couldn't try any of them, because I don't have a loom with the appropriate number of pegs in the appropriate gauge.
I recommend this book if you already have an EFG Wonder Sock Loom, or a nice variety of 60-70-peg EFG looms, but anyone else, be warned that you will have go loom-shopping before you can do any of the projects!
