Fabulous sock patterns!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the FIRST knitting pattern book I have ever purchased which contained such wonderful patterns that I love every one of them and have already gone through my sock yarn stash and matched the patterns to certain yarns so that I know which yarn will be perfect for which pattern. Boy am I ever going to have a fabulous sock collection!!!!! In addition to the beauty of the patterns, they are laid out in a clear and easy to understand and work with manner. And the pictures of the socks are large and well photographed so that the stitch details are easy to see. This increases the ease of noticing any mistake you might be making. I have purchased another pattern book recently and find that not all of the chart notations are explained in the glossary of symbols at the end of the book making a pattern I want to use for a scarf unusable. Not the case with this book. If you love to make [and wear] socks, you will LOVE this book!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
