Book Description

This book is meant to serve as my surrogate. I want to knit with you, just as if I was sitting at your side and we were discussing each step along the way. Please, do not read this book without a needle in one hand and sock yarn at your side. I have divided the book into three sections: Overview, The Methods, and The Socks. Please read Overview to be sure you have the materials, and then turn to your preferred sock, Cuff-to-Toe or Toe-to-Cuff. We're going to work together and refer back to the methods section as we need it.

The methods are listed with illustration at the beginning for easy reference. The wonder of these socks is whether we are knitting from the Cuff-to-Toe or Toe-to-Cuff, we will be using the same cast-on method and the same heel. Mark the methods section so that you can easily flip to the technique.

After mastering each new technique, we will have time to rest and knit in the round for several inches. Liken the time to taking a coffee break and relaxing before tackling the next new method.

I have chosen the one circ method since I can easily incorporate the two socks at once for those of you who suffer from the 'second sock' syndrome. However, the methods described in the book can be applied to your favorite sock knitting technique.
