Great step-by-step pictures with very clear instructions. I want to make so many of these socks, but the patterns are too hard to follow as an ebook. It simply doesn’t work as a digital book. I really want to have this book in its printed form. I think it would be a lot of fun to knit some of the socks included in it, but I can’t follow it digitally.

A down and dirty quick reference for sick knitting. Nothi g fancy, just how make socks and the basic toes and heels as well as a few newer versions.
Definitely for someone used to knitting and using DPNs
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

I love this book! I've been crocheting for over 20 years but have been just starting to teach myself to knit! I found this book so helpful and well thought it. I will definitely be looking for this book in hard copy!

I received a free advanced e-copy to review.

This book is a concise guide to various aspects of sock knitting, but as someone who taught myself sock knitting I do not think it is good for beginners to learn to knit their first sock from.

However, I do think this book is very valuable to anyone who has knit socks from patterns before and wants to start learning how to knit socks without a pattern to fully customize them. For example, the sizing chart included is great information to have.

There are numerous techniques and measurement charts in this book that I am looking forward to applying to future socks.

This guide will help me get closer to sock knitting master, so I can stop relying on other patterns for counts even when I am knitting my own sock ideas.

Simple and detailed instructions. Plus, multiple to choose from. I don’t recommend this digitally though. There was weird blurring on subtitles, blurry blocks on what I suspect were bullet points, and some numbers/rows weirdly spaced. The pictures were great and easy to follow.

I am a very new knitter (about 2 months in). I've only made dishcloths and scarves so far, but I am looking to branch out to more complicated items. When I saw that this book is described as being "beginner-friendly" I requested a review copy from NetGalley. While the socks are beautiful and there are some how-to illustrations, I wouldn't call this a beginner book. Beginners don't use double-pointed needles, for one thing! I just found this book to be too overwhelming. If you have already learned how to use DPNs or have made socks before, this might be a good choice for you.

It's been years since I've knitted anything. There is so much math in knitting anything past a scarf and that's why I never attempted anything more complicated. But this book breaks it down in a way that seems easier and less intimidating.
