Book Reviews of Socks from the Toe Up: Essential Techniques and Patterns from Wendy Knits

Book Review: Great Source for Learning and Ideas
Summary: 5 Stars

My previous attempts to knit socks from the toe up have been disasters. But after attending Sock Summit 2009 I decided I had to try again. I wish I'd bought this book sooner, because the information about techniques is so very helpful. The diagrams are wonderfully clear, and the sample sock photos and the pictures of the sock designs are close-up and from different angless so the details are easily visible. Great resource!!
