This new collection of eighty strange and unusual South Carolina legends is rooted in the states deep history. Some originated centuries ago; such as the Agnes of Glasgow story in Camden and that of the ghostly dwarf jester Gauche; said to haunt a Beaufort mansion. Certain places hold secrets from different eras; including White Wolf Road in Blacksburg and the states numerous historic cemeteries like the one at Salem Black River Church in Mayesville. These pages also contain simple explanations for local lore; like the Gullah tradition behind blue bottle trees that still decorate Carolina gardens today. These and many more crowd-pleasing yarns can be found in this volume from the desk of master storyteller; author and researcher Sherman Carmichael.

The other problem I had with the book is that the author chose to illustrate some of the socks with very textured stitch patterns in variegated yarns (I love these yarnsBy FlameworkerIve knitted single socks on circular needles and was ready to try my hand at the two-at-a-time technique. Compared to several technique videos that Ive watched online; I found this method very awkward and confusing. Others may find it perfectly acceptable. The big difference seems to be that with this technique the socks are divided so that sock A is on one side of the needles and sock B is on the other side with each round completed for each sock individually. The easier technique divides the sock so that you knit sequentially instep A; instep B; heel side A; heel side B. Im going to have to see if I can rearrange the patterns for the second technique.The other problem I had with the book is that the author chose to illustrate some of the socks with very textured stitch patterns in variegated yarns (I love these yarns; too!); but it made it quite difficult to make out how the stitch pattern looks. That said; there are some very nice patterns--something for everyone.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I love the 2 at a time method because I know ...By Carol S. MalleyI am not an avid knitter; I learned from my grandmother how to knit and crochet when I was young. I preferred crocheting and have been doing that for over 50 years. Just recently I decided to try knitting again and wanted to try socks. I love the 2 at a time method because I know that I would be the one who makes one sock and doesnt want to start again to make the second one. Im working on my second pair of socks now and I know I couldnt have made the first ones without this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. For all levels of knittersBy K.
