The how-to photos are so detailed and clear that I was able to just sit down, read along and within half an hour was knitting madly away. It's explained so well and the patterns are terrific!Book Review: Fun way to knit socks!

I decided to order this book to try the knitting two socks at a time method. Wow! What fun! I am about half-way through my second pair. I used the directions and adapted a pattern using double-pointed needles and the first pair fits perfectly! I love that I am able to try on the socks as I knit them - impossible to do with double pointed needles.Book Review: Very easy and fun to do!

Summary: 4 Stars
First let me say I have crocheted for 10 years and have only been knitting a few months when I purchased this book. I was intimidated until I actually got my hands into the very first basic sock pattern. It's really very easy once you get the hang of it. ALso, there is a great intro to sock construction that I've not seen in a lot of other knitting sock books, that is good to have if you've never knitted a sock. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I am very happy with this book and wish more books were written like it. Plus, the really cool thing is I won't make one sock and wait 3 months to make it's mate!! I would highly recommend this book to beginners and others who just want to try something new. Book Review: No more Lone socks!

I purchased this book recently and I couldn't recommend it more highly!
I'm a novice sock knitter, and after my first pair of socks I discovered the problem of knitting socks individually, not only did they take me forever, but they turned out surprisingly mis-matched. A lady at the knitting store reccommended I try this volume, and I did, I've knit 4 pairs of socks using this book, and each pair comes out a bit better.
The instructions are clear and easy to follow, the patterns are very easy to read and I've even been able to adapt a different sock pattern to use with this method with no problem. She has wonderful diagrams of how the socks work, and several handy charts on sizing and on yarn weights.
The only problem I had at first with this book is figuring out how many stitches to cast on to make childrens socks from the basic pattern. And that might be due to my status as a novice sock knitter.
The only think I'd love to see is a toe up method, and perhaps information on how to change sizes for children. But I'd recommend it to anyone, and I'm thrilled at spending the time I would to make one sock and turning up with TWO!
