3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. not as good as Knitting and Crochet books...By A Voracious ReaderThis book looked like it could be very useful. based on the info on the .com site. But the photos and illustrations are not nearly as clear as the "Teach Yourself Visually" books on Crochet and Knitting. I find it very difficult to make out most of the photos; I wish they were at least 50% larger and much more crisp. I havent put the book to use yet - I am hoping that the accompanying written instructions are clear.I may decide to return this book. I bought it because the Knitting and Crochet books are EXCELLENT - mostly for people with beginner to intermediate skills. but good for reference for all. But this book is NOT excellent.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Sock knittingBy pattykay1951Im a moderately experienced knitter but have never attempted socks. I taught myself to knit using the Teach Yourself Visually Knitting book and know that I am successful with this type of instruction. Skimming through the book. it seems to provide the basics of the main styles of construction with detailed photos of each technique. The first chapter gives good information about choosing yarn and needles that is essential for those starting out. Tips sprinkled liberally throughout will keep me from having to "invent the wheel" as I progress. And there are enough patterns to practice from while I perfect this new-to-me skill. Then. once I am more accomplished. I will likely get more books with more difficult patterns; but this will be my main reference for how to knit socks.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. As a novice sock knitter. I love this bookBy The Idaho BeautyLots of good basic info in this book that applies to more than sock knitting. But the info on sock knitting is clear and helpful. Love the photos that help make the descriptions of how to do things even clearer.
