The Joy of Sox features beautifully detailed sock patterns and excellent tutorials for sock knitting techniques. With 32 patterns in this book, all of your favorite sock knitting techniques are covered. A range of established as well as up and coming designers have contributed pattern to The Joy of Sox, including Star Athena, Susan Pierce Lawrence, Mary Jane Mucklestone, Sauniell Nicole Connally, Sivia Harding, and Kirsten Kapur.
The Soxpert Tips and Knitty Bits throughout the book are really useful and provide advice for lots of things that sock knitters wonder about, such as how to work with hand-dyed yarns, how to launder and care for your socks, or how to keep your socks up. This book also contains some of the best tutorials for sock techniques that I've seen. Do you want to learn to knit socks on DPNs, with two circulars, or with the Magic loop? The Joy of Sox covers all of these techniques, and explains how to adapt a sock pattern so you can knit it with your preferred method. 32 patterns—176 pages  | Hardcover Retail: $22.95 Item No. 31274
