Knitting Socks – Beyond the Pattern
If you follow me at all, you know that I’ve really been into sock knitting lately. I have three online classes at Craftsy and I just recorded a Lithuanian Sock Knitting DVD with Interweave Press that is coming out in June. So needless to say, I was excited to get a reviewer’s copy of The Sock Knitter’s Handbook from Charlene Schurch & Beth Parrott recently. I could go on and on writing, but I’ve recorded an audio of my five-star review of this book for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!
Available from Martingale & Company in print and PDF formats, and in print from your LYS, Amazon and other online booksellers.

My first pair of socks was from your knitting class Donna. They turned out so well. I love to knit socks, so easy and quicker than sweaters.

I couln’t say I am keen on knitting, but I love knitting something for a very very special people 🙂 I tried to use books (I found some old ones on my Mom’s shelves), but they were too compilcated, so I usually use my intuition and imagination 😀

Every time I knit a sock I learn something new, whether it be a heel turn, a twist on Kitchener stitch, a cast-on. And because socks are so portable I am learning new things and improving my skills all the time. The more references a knitter has, the better his/her knitting. Watching you, Donna, create socks, is like the magician and the disappearing lady: a mysterious sight that can be duplicated with a lot of practise and care.
