Melissa Morgan Oakes - Sock Knitters everywhere know the frustration of Second Sock Syndrome. It goes something like this: A cute new sock pattern and soft, foot-warming yarn lead to many happy knitting hours, resulting in...ONE sock. The first sock is done (and it's adorable!) but pattern distraction sets in. Who wants to knit the same project all over again? There are so many new projects waiting to be discovered. Melissa Morgan Oakes ends the drudgery of the second sock by showing knitters how to cast on and knit two socks at one time on one long circular needle! Her method is captured in step-by-step photographs, clearly showing knitters how to turn out two socks at the same time. Goodbye to lonely, abandoned single socks. Hello to unlimited pretty pairs, knit on one needle (often finished on the same day), and worn with pride and that gratifying sense of accomplishment. Her easy-to-learn technique enables sock stitchers to adapt any pattern to her two-at-a-time method. But before experimenting with other patterns, readers will want to try Oakes's 15 original designs. Fun and creative, they include simple to complex choices, a variety of yarn weights, and designs for women, men, and children.

BIG BOOK OF KNITTING

Katharina Buss - You know what I like most about this book? It has the clearest photos and presentation of every aspect of fine knitting I have ever seen. Some of the Japanese produced books have had good illustrations of the details, but for some reason the use of hundreds of photos and the clarity of the samples and techniques being illustrated lift this knitting textbook above the rest. The thoroughness of the discussion, the layout, the details, the use of contrasting yarns to show the selvages, the cast-ons, the bind-offs, stitch tricks, holding both colors together for two-color knitting, sweater construction details and new stitch patterns will help lift your knitting to new heights. Novice or experienced get this book.
