Portable, quick to knit, and universally wearable, new knitters have recently been discovering socks in droves, while Interweave Knits magazine has been providing original, beautiful patterns for a decade. Featuring 25 beautiful and timeless sock patterns for every occasion in a range of techniques, traditions, and designs, many of these patterns have become unavailable as original issues of Interweave Knits went out of print, but are available once again in this inspired collection. Highlights include a tutorial for knitting socks on two circular needles, instructions for making resoleable socks, and six completely new designs for those avid knitters who may have every issue of Interweave Knits magazine.

      The quick and practical art of sock knitting is so popular these days that one web-based group devoted to the subject in Yahoo! Groups currently has more than 11,000 members. Budd and Merrow's book will appeal to this fan base and may even convince reluctant knitters to take up the sport. It includes 25 patterns, 19 of which were originally published in "Interweave Knits, Spin-Off", and "PieceWork" magazines. Many of the designs are based on ethnic traditions from around the world, and some of the more interesting patternse.g., the lacy Meida's socks, the Embossed Leaves, the Flame Wave, the Austrian sockssport lavish textural designs that appear deceptively complex. In addition to patterns, the book introduces readers to a variety of sock-knitting techniques, including toe-up sock construction and seamless intarsia in the round. This is an excellent choice for all but the smallest knitting collections. Libraries just getting started in collecting sock-knitting books will also want something for beginners, like Charlene Schurch's "Sensational Knitted Socks".
