review 1: I'm not an expert knitter but this book called to me from the shelf. Wouldn't it be nice to have a good pair of socks that I knit all by myself? I have recently learned to knit in the round, so my confidence level was slightly up when I began this book. While I might need to practice some techniques, I think I can find a pattern or two that I can make for myself that wouldn't be too terribly hard.Socks are an intimidating thing to knit, even if they're simply a garment piece that you shove in your shoe. You first have to know how to knit in the round, how to purl, then pick a good yarn that will do what you want, stitchwise and colorwise.I don't own this book yet (checked it out from my local library), but I can see adding it to my personal collection in the future. T... morehe instructions were very well written and the guidelines were very helpful if you've never picked out sock yarn before and don't know what you're getting yourself into.
review 2: Following The Knitter's Book of Yarn, this book keeps the focus on yarn and looks specifically at sock design and techniques that make the best use of yarn. It delves into the physical aspects of yarn so that you can match the best yarn to a pattern. All the patterns contained within the book are learning patterns in the sense that the yarn chosen for each pattern is chosen for specific reasons.Very nice Kindle format! I appreciated all the extended e-book content via hyperlinks. less
