I really knitted a pair of socks!,

This review is from: I Can't Believe I'm Knitting Socks (Leisure Arts #4083) (Paperback)
For some reason I am fascinated with knitting socks. This book provided me with the basics of how to knit socks and the techniques used for such an endeavor. The instructions are well-written and easy to follow. For me, this book has been a terrific "how-to" for sock-knitting.

The best book for learning to knit socks,

This review is from: I Can't Believe I'm Knitting Socks (Leisure Arts #4083) (Paperback)
I have taught many to knit, and many to knit socks. Most sockknitting books leave a lot to be desired. This one does not. If you want to use double-pointed needles, instructions are in here. If you want to try making socks with a single circular needle, (aka "magic loop") instructions are in here. Several nice designs are here for further sock adventures.
I do recommend that someone wanting to make socks learn to work in the round first, on a hat followed by a pair of mittens.

I Did It!,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: I Can't Believe I'm Knitting Socks (Leisure Arts #4083) (Paperback)
The thought of knitting a sock has always scared me, but finally I decided it was a mountain I had to climb. So I bought this book, sight unseen, & Schurch's Sensational Knitted Socks. Between the two of them, I knitted a sock!! A real sock. Me!! I wish I could say that I bought two books but could have managed with just one of them, but I about wore BOTH of them out going back & forth for clarity. Perhaps I am just dense, but if you are also afraid of trying a sock, it can't hurt to invest in both of them.
