Portable, varied selection with clear patterns

Although I wasn't very keen on the Babies volume of Vogue's Knitting on the Go series, I am very pleased with Socks. Having never made a sock before (albeit a fairly experienced knitter), my first effort -- a "very easy very vogue" selection from this book -- was easy and fast, with quite professional results. The instructions are clear, there are good photos and charts, detailed information about yarn to enable substitutions is provided, and a variety of patterns, sizes, styles and difficulty levels are featured. And the book is portable and sturdy.

The BEST sock book--a must have for knitters

There are historical sock books, there are folk sock books, but no sock book combines all VK packs into this little easy-to-carry-along book:Hard cover--so it doesn't get ripped up (you'll be taking it every where you go. Size--you *can* take it every where because it doesn't weigh a ton.Range of patterns: When I saw the patterns for peds, I was hooked. There are Norwegian patterned baby knee highs, hiking socks, knee socks, color work socks--one book that gives you a pattern for almost any kind of sock. Patterns are CORRECT, make sense, are accompanied by a color photo and a diagrams.A plus: all these Knitting to GO! books from VK are a great way to use up odd balls of yarn.It's more than I ever thought to ask for. Buy it! (Whenever you see it--its hard for stores to keep in stock and goes out of print because it's such a hit.

Clear instructions, color pictures for each project

The book is a perfect size to carry along with you. The instructions are clear, with great photographs of each project. There are projects for every skill level. Many of the projects invite personal creativity and a chance to use up that "extra yarn" that's gathering dust. This book is instructive while still being a lot of fun.

Vogue did it again! A great book full of great sock designs

I love the Vogue Knitting Book and this book is equally as easy to understand and well illustrated. I didn't know how to knit socks before I got this book. Now I am a sock knitting maniac! Great for beginners to advanced.
