4.0 out of 5 stars Tiny and packs a kick, September 7, 2002

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

These little Vogue on the Go books are so cute. They are quite small in format, fit the knitting bag or purse. They aren't very long, though (96 pages) but the patterns are colorful and wearable.

I prefer this sock book to the other books in the On the Go series because here, size doesn't matter (some of the Vogue sweaters and vests aren't sized up for large people.) Socks, however, can be worked up as-is for adults, or can be easily adapted--you can always lengthen or shorten a sock pattern.

The colors are especially appealing and new. I've been toying with the idea of a mitred square sock for some time, and lo, here is Jaya's mitered square socks, saving me the time to develop my own pattern.

While this isn't a "absolutely must-have" book, it is a welcome addition of pretty sock patterns, the price is right-- worth it for the mitred sock, in my case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Socks Two, better than One, December 20, 2002

By 

Suzanne "Suzieknits2" (PA, USA) - See all my reviews

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

I have both Socks books and prefer Socks Two. They both have the same basic information regarding sock knitting. However I preffered the patterns they gave in Socks Two and found more that I would actually make.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better than the first sock book, October 22, 2002

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

This book is okay, better than the first sock book.

What I don't like about this entire series is that the print is small, and the charts are in color, usually very dark colors, that are difficult to read even in good light under normal circumstances.

Also, it would be nice if some of the patterns would tell you the multiple, so that you could use the pattern say for a hat brim or mitten cuff. And, it would be better if they had actual size photos of the yarns, so that the book will be more useful years from now.

Finally, any book this new should have had directions for using two circulars instead of double-pointed needles.
