 An inspiring book for sock lovers May 27, 2008

After having used Ann Budd's book Getting Started Knitting Socks (an excellent reference) for 10 pairs of socks for various members of my family, I am ready to graduate to more complicated patterns for sock making. This book fits the bill. There's something for everyone here, from casual comfy to truly elegant. Socks are terrific projects-they're inexpensive, doable, portable, and after you had worn handknit socks, you'll want more pairs. A great resource for some fabulous projects.
 Gorgeous, Spiral-Bound, but not for Beginners May 10, 2008

I'm an intermediate knitter and I'm totally ready to take on socks. I checked "More Sensational Knitted Socks" by Charlene Schurch out of the library and was really impressed with the detailed directions. However, I didn't care for the flimsy paperback-iness of it, so I ordered this book from Interweave instead. (I was an early devotee of PieceWork and love many of the books by Interweave.)
Well, after receiving this book, I ended up ordering "Sensational Knitted Socks" and "More Sensational Knitted Socks" after all.
"Favorite Socks" is just beautiful. I think I'll be using it later, after I've mastered the theory and logic behind each of the components of socks. It's a compilation of patterns by different designers, and you can tell that it's a "best of Interweave Knits" kind of collection. I wasn't a subscriber, so these are all new to me.
The layout of this book is simple and clean, and each set of directions averages about four uncluttered pages, which I think is great.
If you're a rank beginner when it comes to sock construction (like me!) then I strongly recommend the above-mentioned Charlene Schurch books. (Wish they were sturdy and spiral-bound though.) I'm keeping "Favorite Socks" for inspiration and to use later.

This is a pretty good collection of socks here. I made a pair for my friend, and she loved them. I can't wait to make my next pair. Easy to follow directions, and wonderful pictures.

This book is great for anyone who has made a few "plain" socks and wants to branch out into more creative territory. The instructions are easy to understand and the spiral binding allows the book to lay flat so you don't lose your place.
