My book arrived today and I have had fun looking through it already! As usual Wendy has out done herself by bringing us another perfectly written and photographed book of luscious designs and directions that are well laid out. It is the perfect follow up to her first sock book, Socks from the Toe-Up. I have to say it was also a treat to be questioned to be part of “Wendy’s Brigade” . So what are you waiting for? Buy it! It is a “must have”.

I will start by adage that I have the pleasure of knowing Wendy and was able to help her with this book by test knitting several of the socks in the book. So I may be biased. This book is as well written and perfectly photographed as her last book – Socks from the Toe-Up. The book is laid out well and the patterns are well written and gorgeous. Since I have personally already knit three pairs of socks from this book, I can tell you first hand that the patterns are perfect, well written and take in a wide range of foot sizes. There is also a small something in this book for everyone – colorwork, cables, lace, men, women, children – you name it, you can find it in this book.
In addition to 21 gorgeous patterns, the intro section covers how to read a chart, how to knit your socks to fit you, and crafty your own socks! This is a fantastic second sock book from Wendy!

This book just arrived and I was so inspired just by flipping through it that I’m already preparation which pattern I want to knit first. The leader did an incredible job of including so many attractive patterns. It also lives up to the “every body” part of it’s title with a pattern for men and one for a young girl (see take in for these lovable socks). I will caution that this is probably for a name who has some knitting experience. The patterns are wonderfully elaborate, intricate, and absolutely gorgeous. Part I includes info about toe-up socks including fit and tools. It even includes 2 nicely organized pages on how to design your own – which I fully intend to use. Part II are the patterns in 3 sections – Lace, Cable, and Colorwork. This is followed by an appendix with techniques with ample illustrations. Finally, there is a single page “Pointer” that includes a thumbname picture and page reference of each pair of socks in the book – what a thoughtful and useful addition. I could go on and on about how fantastic this book is but I need to stop writing so I can start knitting!! Thanks to Wendy for my new favorite sock book.
