Knitting Circles Around Socks
Knitting Circles Around Socks
May 15–June 2
Most socks are knit one at a time to produce two socks for a pair. But why knit one sock and then start all over again to make a match? Bring on Knitting Circles Around Socks, a guide to non-repetitive, less painful sock knitting. With detailed step-by-step instructions and lots of pictures and drawings, this book teaches how to knit two socks at the same time on two circular needles. The book even explains how to convert conventional patterns to this ingenious method. Come see the socks knit from the patterns in Antje Gillingham's book.
