Knitting Socks with Handpainted Yarn

"When I knit socks, I usually find a yarn that I'm excited about in my stash, then try to find a pattern that shows it off. There are lots of gorgeous textured sock patterns available, but sometimes I have trouble finding just the right pattern for a hand painted, kettle dyed, or self striping yarn. The yarn is so colorful, that it would obscure many stitch patterns. And I want a stitch pattern that will keep my yarn from pooling. Knitting Socks with Handpainted Yarn is full of patterns that will make your handpainted sock yarns look their best. There are patterns to knit socks in every direction; top down, toe up, even sideways! Dynamic stitch patterns spiral, ripple, cross to create bold designs that stand out and mix up the colors in a handpainted yarn. There are 21 sock patterns in this book, and there is such variety of techniques and styles, you'll want to knit each one!" Kelley Petkun, Owner
