review 1: This book is a must have for sock knitters. I bought the book because it's by Clara Parkes, and if I wanted something explained, I want it explained by Clara Parkes. She does an amazing job explaining fiber, elasticity, wear, ply, stitch patterns, construction - pretty much anything you want to know to make a pair of socks that will not only look beautiful but also feel comfortable and last. There's an added bonus to this book: the designers of the sock patterns in chapter 5 reads like a who's who of the sock world. What a great book!
review 2: I don't usually add knitting books here as they tend to be composed mostly of patterns, but I'm making an exception for this one. Clara Parkes has written three books that I think are must reads for the dedicated knitter
... more: The Knitter's Book of Yarns; The Knitter's Book of Wool, and now this one). Although there are a lot of fantastic patterns in here, there is also fantastic information about wool and fibers, fiber choice for socks, sock construction, etc. I got this at the library, but it's going on my Amazon wishlist. If you knit socks, you need this book less

Clara Parkes always gives us the straight dope on all knitting issues, and this is no exception.

For me, this one was worth buying (albeit at 40% discount). Readable resource with good range.

so many socks, so little time! I picked one to start with for now; maybe one per year.
