El unico diseño que me gusta es el de la portada, esperaba un libro de calcetines jacquard, pero solo es de la portada lo es, el resto son calcetines a un solo color, a rayas o con lana en degragradado, solo intercambia tipos de punto. Diseños simples. Nada de jacquard. Ademas, no hay esquemas o graficos, las explicaciones son escritas. Yo esperaba graficos y diseños jacquard, muy decepcionada, lo devuelvo.

De sokken op de voorkant zijn de enige leuke sokken die er in staan. Verder een beetje saai

What a lovely little book, just getting into knitting socks.Love the way the patterns are laid out,Just started making socks, but toe up, these are all cuff down, but I want to try all of these patterns, would be better if it laid flat though.

For the person who complained about the discrepancy between the charts on her Kindle and on the page: you can read Kindle editions online on your computer at read.amazon.com and probably have a better image of the charts than on your Kindle.

Sweet, no-nonsense overview of many useful basic sock designs. I have ALWAYS (since a teen) made all my own socks (no joke!), since LONG before sock knitting became so fashionable. I can knit 'em in my sleep - but I still purchased this book 'cause I thought it was such a nice overview of the basics.

Le contenu parfait, mais quelle horreur avec ce genre de "livre manuel", je ne conseille pas du tout la version Kindle . Une numérotation de pages est vraiment nécessaire dans ce type d'ouvrage et devrait être obligatoire aux éditeurs qui accordent la vente de la version numérique. Cette pratique de ne pas implémenter la pagination est TRES regrettable quand l'auteur vous renvoie à consulter tel numéro de page. Impossible donc, si ce n'est semble-t-il devoir "bidouiller" avec des apps supplémentaires ...

I have the original sock-shaped book and I love it. I thought it would be great to have it on my Kindle - Oops! Not so!!! The tables that I so enjoy using are impossible to read on the Kindle. The pattern instructions are divided by part of sock being knitted and each part has its own table, which, in my opinion, makes this PRINT book really easy to use. If you really like the socks on the cover because of the pattern and are disappointed that there is only the one pair made that way, you can use a book of patterns and find something that will fit into the charts for the flowered socks. Get some graph paper and draw the number of stitches and rows on it, then put in the pattern you've chosen from another source - colored pencils or crayons make your own chart easy to use. I use the Intarsia and Fair Isle sections of The Knitting Stitch Bible by Maria Parry-Jones to do this sort of thing on socks and doll clothes. The book also has the following sections: Knit & Purl, Rib, Cable, Bobble, Lace, Sequins & beads. With just a little experience you can utilize a book like this to make most any pattern an original by you. I would advise any beginner knitters reading this to refuse to be put off by naysayers. If you truly want to make a pair of socks for someone, even yourself, you will be able to do it. I can say this because I learned to knit when I was 16 by making a pair of Argyle socks for my steady boyfriend. If you're being told to make a dozen scarves or potholders first, just ignore that advice and make what you really and truly want to make. You can do it!!!

this book, combined with Ann Budd's classic book, is the only combination one ever needs to knit beautiful socks. it offers directions for two different weights of yarn for almost every pattern. the directions are easy to read and execute. i recommend it for every one who wants to knit socks.

I had bought this book for my self a few years ago from a craft store. My daughter has been learning how to knit different things, and she made comment she would like to try knitting socks. I told her this book is great for learning how if you read it explicitly, follow the step by step instructions, well written.

This book is the one I get for every knitter new to making socks. It has easy to use step by step instruction. I still get it out for a reference occasionally.The patterns are easy, but there are a few more challenging ones for beginners to get used to the construction.Excellent book.

I have never made socks before and this book was recommended to me to learn how. I would have liked to have seen a lot more instruction on how to actually make the socks. The whole picking up the stitches at the gusset really had me stumped. I would have liked to see more pictures of the actual process.That said, if you know what you are doing, the patterns in here are very attractive with lots of options. I just wouldn't suggest that you learn to knit socks from this book.UPDATE: Well, I finally learned how to knit socks on 2 circular needles. And I even understand what the whole gusset thing is now!! Actually, all the instructions make more sense. I turned my first heel the other day. Now that I can do these things, I think this book is even better. The patterns are very nice--I am working on the cute sock with the rolled cuff. A nice book to have on the shelf.
