Great sock patterns!

I love love love this book. I first borrowed it from the library, and realized that I HAD to own it! I've knitted my son several pairs of socks using the patterns from this book. Great instructions and fantastic pictures.

Review of Socks Two by Vogue Knitting

Excellent little book and a variety of socks to make.

A good addition to your sock pattern library

This little book has a nice variety of patterns and excellent instructions on how to make them. Having said that, to my eye there's no single pattern in the book that I would rate at 5 stars (well, maybe those medieval knee socks). I could justify buying this book based on the socks for children more than on the socks for adults. There are so many excellent sock books around these days. In my opinion, this book is a little below the excellent level due to the designs themselves.

Socks Two, better than One

I have both Socks books and prefer Socks Two. They both have the same basic information regarding sock knitting. However I preffered the patterns they gave in Socks Two and found more that I would actually make.

Tiny and packs a kick

These little Vogue on the Go books are so cute. They are quite small in format, fit the knitting bag or purse. They aren't very long, though (96 pages) but the patterns are colorful and wearable.I prefer this sock book to the other books in the On the Go series because here, size doesn't matter (some of the Vogue sweaters and vests aren't sized up for large people.) Socks, however, can be worked up as-is for adults, or can be easily adapted--you can always lengthen or shorten a sock pattern.The colors are especially appealing and new. I've been toying with the idea of a mitred square sock for some time, and lo, here is Jaya's mitered square socks, saving me the time to develop my own pattern. While this isn't a "absolutely must-have" book, it is a welcome addition of pretty sock patterns, the price is right-- worth it for the mitred sock, in my case.
