review 1: I am in love with this book and never want to return it to the library. At first I thought it was a book with sock patterns, but then I quickly discovered this is a book on how to design your own sock patterns (with some beautiful examples of the author's).

review 2: If you like to knit socks, this is a great book. It discusses how to design your own socks. There are directions for many knitting techniques, with pictures. It discusses how to make a pattern which is the mirror image on both sides and how to adjust the size of the socks to make them fit. The patterns included are mostly nonsym
... moremetric, and strange, but the how to parts are very extensive and clearly written. less
