The Yarn Lover's Ultimate Guide to Creating Socks That Fit Well, Feel Great, and Last a Lifetime

A sock is a work of wonder. No other knitted garment has as many structural demands or endures as much wear and tear. The humble sock must defy gravity, suffer the confines of our shoes, and endure being trampled on all day long.

In The Knitter’s Book of Socks, Clara Parkes shows you how to knit socks from yarn up, following the sock yarn life cycle from its foundations to its final moments on a proud foot. By understanding a sock's basic needs—elasticity, strength, and moisture management—you’ll learn how to play with these tools like building blocks, confidently combining fiber, twist, ply, pattern, and clever stitch tricks to construct your perfect pair of socks.

To help put these principles into practice, The Knitter’s Book of Socks also offers 20 fresh, original patterns from today’s sock-design luminaries, including Cookie A, Cat Bordhi, Ann Budd, Nancy Bush, Anne Hanson, and Melissa Morgan-Oakes. The socks presented here run the gamut from simple knit-and-purl combinations suitable for beginners to innovative designs with lush colorwork, swirling cables, and delicate lace.

Understanding the elements of yarn is the first step on every successful sock knitting journey. With this book as your guide, you’ll learn how to make any sock yarn shine and love every pair of socks you knit.

knitters who are ready to move on from scarves. Many knitters see an

that stands on its own. Since the squares are made one at a time, they
are portable and interchangeable. Just when the knitter is ready for a
change, it's time to pick a new square.
It all started with four squares published in Knitter's Magazine, Spring
1996. Over the years, four completed afghans have followed: one richly
textured in cables, two combining texture and colorwork, and the
easiest of the four—the kid's afghan. With stars, hearts, whirligigs, and
pockets, it's 12 colorful squares makes the perfect kid-sized afghan.
With knitter-tested instructions; step-by-step illustrations (intarsia,
duplicate stitch, cable and twist stitches, modular knitting, appliqu�
and embellishment, entrelac, and two-color stranding); both written
and charted instructions; finishing hints and border treatments; and
interviews with the designers, The Great American Afghan Collection

Her artistic ability speaks loudly in the name of her company, DanDoh-which means warm soil. Now living in Arizona, Yumiko reflects on the beauty of the desert sun, warm earth colors and great expanse of visible sky, often without any clouds for days. The sense of freedom and special colors all around her continue to call to her artistic nature. Yumiko's designs are also inspired by what she likes to wear and what she wants to have in her closet. Her design goal is to create original pieces that cannot be found in stores. She especially likes combining knit and crochet to obtain interesting textures and fun combinations of fiber and color.

Sweater 101 34,45 �

Originally published in 1991, this new edition features the following quote on the back cover: "I had no idea your wonderful book was coming back...hooray. Don't think I've given a workshop in the last 15 years without mentioning you and it." Who said that? Meg Swansen. That's a pretty hefty endorsement! This is a clean, functional, step-by-step guide to building your own sweater patterns. You don't get out of measuring, but you do get someone guiding you clearly along the path to sweater success time after time. Brunette's approach requires us to take careful notes on design sheets included in the book. She provides standardized schematics for the three basic sweater shapes -- drop-shoulder, set-in sleeve and raglan in chest sizes 30-50" for women, other handy resource sheets, and discusses current trends in sweater design [did you know that raglan sleeves used to come to a sharp point at the top?]. My favorite tip in the book is the proper use of a calculator's memory function. Smart woman, that Cheryl Brunette. --Knitty: Fall 2008, Amy R. Singer

Tomales Bay's casual charm makes it the perfect setting for our fall knitting book. As always, we offer traditional Shetland wools knitted up into clothes with a modern, casual look. Eunny Jang's stunning Autumn Rose Pullover takes Fair Isle knitting into the new century, with fitted shaping and a compound angle raglan sleeve. Carol Lapin's tiered Drake's Bay Jacket & Coat and Tomales Bay Skirt once again use traditional yarns in modern ways.

This year, we introduce two new yarns. Blended with luxury fibers, both retain the rusticity, coloring and life of traditional Shetland wool while providing a beautifully rich and unexpected hand. Our SILK & SHETLAND LAMBSWOOL version of the Duxbury Point Pullover turns a finely knit Aran garment into a work of elegance. The character of our SHETLAND LAMBSWOOL & CASHMERE is beautifully showcased in the Olema Turtleneck Pullover and Hat. It is a knitting yarn with all the character expected of Scottish wool with enough cashmere to allow the cozy turtleneck design.

This year's collection is by far the most varied of our books. Though we will always love the technique and beauty of an Aran shawl, we also enjoy the excitement of a design like Passive Polka Dots.

Knitters adore toe-up socks for both novelty and practicality. Knitters can try on the sock as they work, they never run out of yarn before the foot is complete, and they avoid needing the dreaded kitchener stitch to finish off the toe. Many swear that toe-up socks just plain feel more comfortable, too.

Morgan-Oakes combines the pleasures of toe-up knitting with the convenience of her 2-at-a-time approach in 15 original designs for men, women, children, and babies. From the delicate and graceful ballerina sock to the kaleidoscopic, nubby peppercorn pattern, there is a style here for every pair of feet. For each pattern, Morgan-Oakes provides row-by-row instructions, charts for both large and small feet, and captivating, four-color photographs of the finished product. Readers aren�t limited to these patterns, however. Once mastered, the technique can be applied to any sock pattern.

The lace patterns progress from the first, most basic, edgings to the sophistication of "real" lace. Forty patterns are included-scarves and shawls, capes, and fichus-with comprehensive information on the tools and techniques of lace knitting for beginners and enough challenges to keep experienced or ambitious knitters engaged. Delicate and decorative, historical lace patterns are within the reach of today's knitters in this book of adventurous ideas with a vintage touch.

Roxana's Garden

For Simply Shetland 5, we invite you to open the gate and step into Roxana�s Garden. Just as Roxana�s garden is awash in color, there are projects here that are sure to please the knitter who loves color�from the deeply intense colors and drapey drama of the Annalisa Cape, to the bright colorplay of the Whirligig Vest, to the rich mixing of two related colors in the Clematis Jacket. Just as Roxana�s garden makes the most of climbing flowers and low creepers and everything in-between, these three projects ask you to flex your knitting skills: from mosaic knitting, to Fair Isle, to using crocheted embellishment to enhance �plain� knitting. The Roxana Jacket is one of those projects that knitters dream of, because it looks more complicated to knit than it really is, and the final product will look good on many different body types; the Greystone Vest mimics the solid texture of stone in a chic, dress-it-up-or-dress-it-down way; the Chevron Tunic is a testament to the power and grace of a neutral color. This volume includes two handsome sweaters for men, both easy to knit. The garden is a place where we can cast off the busy pace of our work world and, instead, enjoy a leisurely moment in the natural world. And knitting promises much the same: a leisurely moment to cast on and enjoy the natural fibers that are Jamieson�s and Simply Shetland yarns.
