Knit 'N Style
The cover photo will make you want to drop what you're doing and knit a pair for yourself. . . . even the most complicated pattern isn't difficult, because the yarns themselves do so much of the work.

Some really nice sock patterns, but it's the chapters at the beginning about how to use handpainted yarn that I really love.

    This book rocks!

    I am a collector of handpainted yarn, but have not always been happy with the socks that result when its been knitted. This book provides many alternative construction styles to minimize pooling and flashing. I like that there are as many as 4 different stitch counts included in each pattern, resulting in socks to fit almost any foot. Also included are patterns for both top down and toe up socks, for double points, two circs or even magic loop. A must for the advanced sock knitter.
