  Simple Socks - Plain and Fancy

Author: Priscilla A. Gibson-Roberts

This is not an ordinary sock book, with patterns for you to reproduce. No, this is about sock knitting that empowers knitters to make plain socks that fit, or to discover a flair for fancy designs. Simple Socks presents a technique that incorporates the best-of-the-best from Priscilla's research on both Western and Eastern sock-knitting traditions. You can learn how to knit socks Priscilla's way, shaping both heel and toe with a short-row technique that is, simply put, fabulous. Clearly written and illustrated, with complete reference tables and step-by-step instructions (for both top-to-toe and toe-to-top knitting), Simple Socks offers a treasure trove of information for astute beginners as well as for seasoned sock knitters. This book will delight generations to come.
