The corrections for this book are available publisher's website. The current version has all the errata corrected!!! If you have an older version with printed mistakes, please just make the changes and get over it. Yes, it shouldn't have taken 3 versions to iron them all out, but it is well worth the 15 minutes I spent correcting my older copy.
I was appreciative of the step-by-detailed-step in making 2 socks cuff-down on 1 40" circular needle. However, the casting on instructions were missing some critical bits of information (thank goodness for the pictures!), and between Step 30 & 31 (working the gusset decreases) there are several editing errors and the directions are confusing. I had to take my project and the book to my LYS (local yarn store) and puzzle it out with a friend there. It didn't help that the sample sock colors in the photos were not as described in the text. Perhaps this was the fault of the printer rather than the photographer.
I also had a minor complaint about the "Sugar Maple" pattern which starts each round with purl stitches. I revised the pattern to begin with knit stitches and avoided a huge problem with "laddering". The design was unchanged. I could see no reason for beginning with purl stitches and the end product was much nicer.
Some of the patterns are rather intricate and admittedly lovely designs. The cover photo is for a child's sock "Emily's Socks", not adult's size as pictured. However a friend who made this pattern said the large size fits most women's feet. There's a good mixture of women's, children's and men's sock patterns as well as varying yarn thicknesses; really something for everyone who is learning to make socks. Plus, the stitches are clearly explained in both words, graphs, and pictures. This alone is a huge plus.
And for those Magic-loopers who want toes-up patterns, Melissa's new 2-At-A-Time book is coming out in April 2010 and explains the toe-up process.
Finally, there is a [...] group specifically for this book and for the upcoming toes-up sequel. Join us there!
