This book is nothing short of fantastic. I've knit several of the patterns in this book, and have found no mistakes and no disappointments. There are socks for every experience level, from beginner to the most advanced. Variety abounds, and choices are plentiful.

I especially like the section of lacey socks - I've knitted every one, and love them all. The color patterns are also excellent, and again the instructions are well written.

I you own only one book of sock patterns, this should be it.

I am a fairly experienced knitter. This book provides more inspiration than I have seen in a knitting book for a while. Beginners should look at these patterns to get an idea of why knitting is worth pursuing. Yu can always approach local yarn shops for technical help and good company! These are beautiful expressed design ideas. After all, we all want to knit something we cherish and this book offers a realm of great possibility. It's hard to find interesting patterns. Yay! for Knitter's Magazine!

I bought this book in order to not have to run-to-the-yarn-store every time I knit a Christmas stocking for a member of my family, which is not too often. This book is great for teaching the knitter about the different parts of a sock, such as the heel, the gusset, how to "turn" the sock, etc. I am currently knitting socks with each part of the sock being a different color; an instructional sock(s). Also, as the title says, there are a great deal of varieties of socks to knit, which I haven't started yet. A great book for beginner of socks.

This book is fantastic for people who are interested in socks. Some of the patterns get a little wild or ugly in my opinion, but the socks that are so beautiful they make me feel faint are worth the ones that make me cringe.

Hugely inspiring to look through. I haven't knit a pattern from the book yet, but I've looked through it enough to know it will be treasured for a long long time.

Both the designs and pictures are wonderful. There is something for all tastes. Can't wait to get started on quite a few of them.
