5.0 out of 5 stars Can't stop crocheting..., February 5, 2005

By 

isala "Isabel and Lars" (London, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crocheted Socks!: 16 Fun-To-Stitch Patterns (Paperback)

This book is a gem! I'm not an experienced crocheter, but I'm already working on my second pair of socks. The instructions are so clearly explained that even when I'm left handed I don't have any problems following the patterns. My first pair of socks fit me so well, and are so warm... it's a delight to wear them, especially in the Alaskan winter!
While it is true the yarns the authors recommend are difficult to find, I have used other brands with no ill results; the only thing I had to do was to adjust the gauge.
This book is an excellent buy. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Crocheted Socks!: 16 Fun-To-Stitch Patterns (Paperback)

To me this book just screams "let loose, get goofy and silly" you won't find an ordinary sock patterns here, well maybe one (tennis sock) but even that one can be fun. If you are not familiar with making socks, be sure to read the introduction and Basic Sock in the front of the book as this can be a huge help in understanding the steps to creating a sock.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crocheted Socks I can relate to., November 12, 2003

Andrea D. Shuman (Hayward, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crocheted Socks!: 16 Fun-To-Stitch Patterns (Paperback)

These book is awesome. I never amagine crocheted socks with individual toes! or any crocheted socks that's comfortable enough to fit even when you wear shoes! I also like knitting, but I can crochet must faster than I can knit. With this book, it doesn't take as long to turn out a pair of socks compare to knitting them. Following these patterns are easy even if you use your own hand spun yarns.
