5.0 out of 5 stars Great sock book!, August 31, 2009

This review is from: The Joy of Sox: 30+ must-knit designs (Hardcover-spiral)

I own just about every sock knitting book ever written. I had to review this one because I like it so much! It has great sock patterns, a lot of patterns (32), beautiful photographs, and a spiral binding. What makes it unique is that it has little narratives and fun statistics sprinkled throughout that make it a sock book that you can actually read. The "Joy of Sox" double entendres in the book are kind of cute too! This is now one of my favorite sock books.

If you could only get one sock book, this is the one! I knew I wanted this book when all the new sock patterns I had clicked on Ravelry were from this book. Nearly every pattern is something I want to knit. And I love how there are multiple views of each sock pattern on real feet, so you know how they will look.
