Sock Innovation will be
the next knitting classic. In a year, just mention the title, and
other knitters will know immediately to which book you are
referring. The sock patterns are so fabulous that you will stop
everything else going in your life until you can cast on.
However, it isn't the sock patterns that are going to make this book
a bestseller and a must for your knitting library. It is Cookie A's
explication of charting and the design process. Her words and
graphic examples will give those who have had problems reading or
creating stitch charts have the "Aha!" moment. Just the section
which explains converting a stitch repeat from flat to round is
worth the price of the book.
Even experienced designers will be inspired by Cookie A's unique
approach to stitch placement.
Every technique and concept described in this book can be
extrapolated into the design of larger knitting projects.
