The only book I've found that's any good with it is "Knitting Socks with Handpainted Yarn" by Carol Sulcoski. She really paid attention to working with the yarn. Unfortunately, all of her patterns are top-down instead of toe-up. Considering how I have to customize socks to fit my feet, that really doesn't work for me.Dielahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05756275731069816054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1257228038838423702.post-23934378897752186132010-08-24T08:05:20.460-05:002010-08-24T08:05:20.460-05:00I totally agree!

It's much better to work on the plain "vanilla" sock and get finished quicker as well.<br /><br />It also helps me because I can use the basic sock construction practice.iggystarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621837888792244714noreply@blogger.com
