Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)There are a lot of things I really like about this book. It has a lot of basic patterns in it that a relative beginner could tackle, but it also has more challenging (and fancier) designs for the advanced knitter. Most of the designs were originally developed for handspun yarn, but commercial yarn substitutes just fine. One neat thing they have is a little diagram showing the thickness of yarn used in the original socks, so you can compare your yarn to be sure it's compatible. I've made a few pairs of socks out of this book and been very happy. One thing: on some of the patterns, there are no "counts" given for turning the heels. On "Basic Socks" for example, I had to use yarn markers to be sure the heel came out right. But other than that, this is a great sock book. A lot of the patterns are designed for worsted-weight yarn, so if you don't always like to work with narrow-narrow little sock yarn, this might be a book for you.
