Cool Socks Warm Feet by Lucy Neatby See the review by Clara Parks in Interweave Knits (Winter 2006) on page 10. Lucy's latest book is a collection of her ingenious ways with self-patterning sock yarns, as well as a treasury of sock-knitting arcana. Six explicit patterns in multiple sizes are given, as well as many ways of customizing these with other heels, toes, or cuffs. No matter what level you knit at, you're bound to find something of interest here. 128 pgs, soft-cover, wire spiral-bound (with spine), pictures (21 colour, 7 black and white, 30 line drawings, book size 6 1/2" by 8". ISBN 0-9733940-0-5. Price: $24.95 Cdn. |

Customer review: Cool Socks, Warm Feet - I love this book! Thank you for sharing your excellent techniques! I'm probably "late for the party" and you've had lots of kudos on the book, but I had to write. I'm not a sock knitter .... normally I don't find anything particularly extraordinary about knitting socks.... but..... I'm hooked! It's gotten so bad that in addition to knitting 4 pairs in a very short period of time, I've been making the "minis" just so I can try your techniques and see the results quickly. Not only have you made a convert of a "non-sock knitter", I may even start wearing them! :o) BTW - I also knitted your "falling leaves scarf "and found the pattern to be clear, precise and fun to knit Sue J. |
