review 1: While I personally have never understand the fascination with sock knitting, in this book, Melissa Morgan-Oakes has come the closest to inspiring within me the motivation to make many pairs of socks. First of all, there are no double pointed needles - just looking at the configurations of those things makes me want to run screaming from the room. Second, the book is jam packed with pictures and the woman is an entertaining writer. I was literally sucked in by her introduction and found myself reading through half the book in one sitting. The step-by-step photographs are incredible and would absolutely walk any beginner through the process of making socks using her method. I actually did get pretty far into a pair of her sample socks while chaperoning a bus trip with 30+ te... moreenagers - if that doesn't tell you that the method is clear and easy to follow, I don't know what will! I give this book 5 out of 5 stars, for doing its very best to convert me into a sock knitter, and for, at the very least, providing me with the tools for making my own pair of socks on circular needles.
review 2: I learned to do 2-at-a-Time Socks with Melissa's first book and learned Toe Up method elsewhere. Even before purchasing this book, I had devised my own process for combining the two methods. I got this book to see if there were steps I hadn't figured out. Only Casting on process was new idea. Nevertheless, even if you already know this technique Melissa gives you the key for figuring out the "secret" math for several different heel types to make the perfect fit. Great pictures on how-to, and just as in first book, spiral type binding to make it project-use-friendly. less
