Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated Sock Club: Join the Knitting Adventure in Books
Apr 27, 2018
The special thing about the patterns is this: in the front of the book, Schurch and Parrott give a variety of suggestions and instructions on how to adjust the size of the sock by altering the pattern slightly, or changing the needle size, or the yarn, etc. For each pattern, they give which specific ways work best for resizing for that pattern.
In the back, there are 5 different ways of casting on (sometimes you need a different cast-on for a pattern to make it work), and the instructions and pictures are pretty good. There are other little tips and tricks for technique, like knitting with a circular needles, wrap and turn, suspended bind-off, and finishing techniques. There’s also a sizing chart for men and women, information on yarn types, and a list of sources to find recommended yarn for your new socks.
There are 23 patterns, a million colors you could work with… you realize how many beautiful socks you could make with this book?
Recommendation: This book was designed for the intermediate to experienced knitter. Many of the patters work with lace, cables, bobbles etc. even one with beads, and other more complicated patterning.
Happy Knitting!
