knitting knee-highs by: barb brown

Product DescriptionIn this book, author Barb Brown takes sock knitting to new heights by teaching you the ins and outs of knitting kneehighs, a popular sock, but one that needs more explanation than most books and magazines give it. Here, in the first book on the topic, you will learn how to size these socks as you knit them, with 20 great patterns to pick from. Each of the 20 knee-high patterns comes with a variation that features that design in a different color and style of sock, perfect for knitters who want to mix up their sock drawer.

"Knitting Knee-Highs" is not just for the lover of knee-high stockings: the 20 great patterns are shown with variations of the non-knee-high variety, for those who like their socks shorter, there is even a pattern for leg warmers!
I was thrilled to get this book! I love knitting, but I have never branched out to socks...until now! Knitting Knee-Highs is full of beautiful and just plain stunning socks. The patterns are lovely, and the directions for customized fit are good. If you like knee-socks, you'll love Knitting Knee-Highs!
Some of my favorites that I will be sporting this fall:

I'd be lying if I told you those are the only socks I like! I think that I'm completely in love with every single pair in this book! I'm sure my husband and I will have over flowing sock drawers come fall!
If you're a sock knitter, a lover of stranded patterns, looking for more than ho-hum socks or love new and interesting techniques and folk-inspired patterns, you will absolutly love this book. Even if you are a beginner, I think you will still love this book! It's always fun to learn something new!!
