About the Author
BRONWYN LOWENTHAL has loved knitted socks since her first holiday to Turkey where the traditional craft of “stocking” knitting is still very strong. When the former fashion marketer launched the Lowie label in 2003, she ensured that traditional handicrafts, in particular knitting, crochet, embroidery, and handstitching would be found in almost every piece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on socks, April 7, 2008

By	D. Tzoutzouraki (Athens, Greece) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I ordered this book (after seeing the socks on the cover) I didn't expect to like so many of the 35 creative and new designs for socks. It's one of the best new book on socks I've seen in a long time. It has designs for short and long lace socks, dressy socks even socks for children and babies etc. I especially liked the flower socks, the japanese tabi socks, turkish socks, winter flower socks, stirrup legwarmers, tennis socks, gardening long socks, argyle golf socks, spotty slippers, tv slippers and especially the cherry slippers. There is even a simple Christmas stocking. Yarns are rowan , debbie bliss, jaeger, regia, patons, jamieson's etc.

2.0 out of 5 stars NO INFO ON YARN SUBBING, January 15, 2009

By	Justin B (Monterey, CA United States) - See all my reviews

The sock patterns in this book are great, but beware:

The author does not include ANY information about the yarn used in each pattern other than the name, and how many skeins. That's right, no weight, no yardage, no gauge, NOTHING.

Be ready to do some research on your own to be able to substitute yarn.

3.0 out of 5 stars sock books I don't love.., July 6, 2008

By	Nisha Martin (Fort Huachuca, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is interesting. For someone in their teens or twenties, it would probably be very good. For me, I passed it on to someone in their 20s. The colorwork socks were beautiful, but I hate doing colorwork. Many of the other socks were just a little funkier than I'd want to make.
Not a bad book, just one I don't particularly love for myself. The person I gave it to, enjoyed it.
