5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST sock book--a must have for knitters, May 8, 1999

This review is from: Socks (Vogue Knitting on the Go) (Hardcover)

There are historical sock books, there are folk sock books, but no sock book combines all VK packs into this little easy-to-carry-along book:Hard cover--so it doesn't get ripped up (you'll be taking it every where you go. Size--you *can* take it every where because it doesn't weigh a ton.Range of patterns: When I saw the patterns for peds, I was hooked. There are Norwegian patterned baby knee highs, hiking socks, knee socks, color work socks--one book that gives you a pattern for almost any kind of sock. Patterns are CORRECT, make sense, are accompanied by a color photo and a diagrams.A plus: all these Knitting to GO! books from VK are a great way to use up odd balls of yarn.It's more than I ever thought to ask for. Buy it! (Whenever you see it--its hard for stores to keep in stock and goes out of print because it's such a hit.

This review is from: Socks (Vogue Knitting on the Go) (Hardcover)

Although I wasn't very keen on the Babies volume of Vogue's Knitting on the Go series, I am very pleased with Socks. Having never made a sock before (albeit a fairly experienced knitter), my first effort -- a "very easy very vogue" selection from this book -- was easy and fast, with quite professional results. The instructions are clear, there are good photos and charts, detailed information about yarn to enable substitutions is provided, and a variety of patterns, sizes, styles and difficulty levels are featured. And the book is portable and sturdy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vogue did it again! A great book full of great sock designs, April 8, 1998

This review is from: Socks (Vogue Knitting on the Go) (Hardcover)

I love the Vogue Knitting Book and this book is equally as easy to understand and well illustrated. I didn't know how to knit socks before I got this book. Now I am a sock knitting maniac! Great for beginners to advanced.
