I found this book extremely easy to follow and the directions were easy to understand. I have attempted to knit sox in the past and was extremely unsuccessful. My sister recommended this book to me and I was thrillled with the outcome. The author provides directions for several techniques. I opted for the 5 needle method and had no difficulties with this technique. In the book is an explanation of how to make a "class sock". This actually is a quick and easy way to learn her techniques. I completed this small "class sock" in just a couple of evenings. Although you may be tempted to just jump in to making your first pair, I highly recommend this exercise. When I did complete my first pair, I had no problems doing so and I attribute that to my making of the "class sock". Happy knitting.....

I had a friend show me this book and was instantly hooked. The book has wonderful pictures that accompany each pattern as well as directions that are easy to follow. The thing that sets this book apart from all other knitting books I have seen is that the author gives directions for three different knitting styles (4 double point needles, 5 dpn, and 2 circular needles)for each pattern. The knitter is able to pick the style that best suites them. Each pattern also gives you a variety of stitch patterns that can be used in each sock pattern. This book will allow you to literaly make hunderds of different socks.
This book is also great for knitters of all experience, from beginners to more advanced knitters. The book begins with great directions on how to knit socks, how to make a sock for any size foot, and basics on everything from types of yarns to tools and words to know. The sock patterns are arranged and labeled for experience level.
For all people wanting to knit socks, this is a book that is a must!
