    A Perfect Book on Knitting Socks From the Toe Up
  

*by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2009*

Wow!  This book is about as perfect as a knitting book in this category can be.The introduction is a great resource for ways to knit socks from the toe up.  The pictures and instructions are clear and easy to follow.The sock pattern section wowed me.  The socks are beautiful.  There are the more basic socks for beginners and then there are lace socks, cable socks and even guernsey socks.There are at least four pairs of socks that I can't wait to get started on.The last section has abbreviations, definitions, resources and a chart with different gauges for sock knitting depending on the type of yarn you are knitting with.  What more could a knitter ask for.When I buy a knitting book I ask myself three questions.Does the book contain patterns that I want to knit?Are the patterns easy to follow?Will the book be a good resource for me?The answer to all three questions is a resounding 'yes'.The book contains about twenty different sock patterns so there is something in it for everyone.  The photographs and diagrams are clear and lovely and anyone who is a sock knitter would benefit by adding this book to their library.

    A simple concept -- great results!
  

*by M***H on Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2009*

I've always wanted to knit socks, but just couldn't bring myself to do it in the "cuff-down" mode -- just didn't make sense to me. They always looked so hard, and I was jealous of all those knitters who LOVED their socks! From the toe up makes sense to me! I started about a month ago with one of the "vanilla" sock patterns and was amazed at how easy they were, and how well the sock turned out! I could try it on as I went and make sure it fit my foot. I have now completed 3 pairs -- one vanilla, the serpentine, and the labrynith (or however that's spelled!). I also like that once you're done, all you have to do is weave in a couple loose threads, and that's it! I haven't tried all the "toe-starting" variations, but I think that once you find one that you like, and that you do well, there's no reason to know all of them. Same for binding off. I found one I liked, could do well, and it works! I do like that Wendy gives you several variations of toe, heel, and binding off. Gives you options to create a sock from start to finish -- based on what you like and what you can do. I loved the book -- the photography is great, the descriptions are well done, and the sock patterns are varied enough to find something (or several) to knit.

    An essential book for sock knitters
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2012*

I have recently become obsessed with knitting socks.  Once I learned the magic loop method and discovered knitting socks from the toe-up, I've been hooked.  This book is a fantastic book for beginners up to experienced sock knitters.  There is a wide variety of patterns included.  She discusses the basic makings of a sock, and goes into a little detail on different cast-on and heel types, including examples of some of them.  All of the socks can be adapted to whatever  you chosen knitting style is, magic loop, 2 circulars, or double pointed.  All of the patterns in the book are beautiful, but look completely do-able. I cannot wait to make all of them.  There's about 25 patterns, all of them completely original.  The photographs of all the socks are beautifully done and highlight all the beauty and intricacies of the socks.  A little over half the socks seem to be of the lacy style, with beautiful shapes and motifs.  I think that these will be perfect spring, summer, and fall socks.  Overall, if you're thinking about a toe-up sock book, this one is for you!
