The patterns in this book are both visually interesting and fun to knit. Each has new and challenging methods to learn. The charts and written instructions are clear and easy to follow. This is the first time that I have purchased an instruction book where I have wanted to make every pattern. At this point, I have made three pairs of awesome socks and I am working on the fourth. Since following the charts is essential, it would be a great benefit if there was a way to download them to print out so that they could be more easily followed without damaging the book. Because of the strong visual effects, it’s a bit difficult to adjust the sizes. I think all of the patterns have 2 sizes included, however it seems that only the length changes and the width remains the same. I am happy that I was able to get this book so quickly and at a good price.

This is definitely a table top ebook. These patterns are so beautiful and if you are into making mittens, hats and scarves you could make beautiful sets from these patterns.

great new ebook for sock lovers. Interesting techniques (though one, at least, not well explained and caused me some confusion) and has my regular giftee listers clamoring for items. Not all colorwork, either, some texture involved so it’s not one flavor, but it is mostly colorwork, so if that is not your thing I’d look elsewhere. Enjoying this very much
