 Gorgeous, Spiral-Bound, but not for Beginners May 10, 2008
I'm an intermediate knitter and I'm totally ready to take on socks. I checked "More Sensational Knitted Socks" by Charlene Schurch out of the library and was really impressed with the detailed directions. However, I didn't care for the flimsy paperback-iness of it, so I ordered this book from Interweave instead. (I was an early devotee of PieceWork and love many of the books by Interweave.)
Well, after receiving this book, I ended up ordering "Sensational Knitted Socks" and "More Sensational Knitted Socks" after all.
"Favorite Socks" is just beautiful. I think I'll be using it later, after I've mastered the theory and logic behind each of the components of socks. It's a compilation of patterns by different designers, and you can tell that it's a "best of Interweave Knits" kind of collection. I wasn't a subscriber, so these are all new to me.
The layout of this book is simple and clean, and each set of directions averages about four uncluttered pages, which I think is great.
If you're a rank beginner when it comes to sock construction (like me!) then I strongly recommend the above-mentioned Charlene Schurch books. (Wish they were sturdy and spiral-bound though.) I'm keeping "Favorite Socks" for inspiration and to use later.
 Favorite Socks Apr 21, 2008
This is a pretty good collection of socks here. I made a pair for my friend, and she loved them. I can't wait to make my next pair. Easy to follow directions, and wonderful pictures.

 Favorite Socks Apr 13, 2008
I enjoy Ann Budd's knitting books...I have not yet made my first pair of socks, after I get some completed I hope to be able to meke some of the socks in this book
Ready for more than your average sock... Apr 07, 2008
This book is great for anyone who has made a few "plain" socks and wants to branch out into more creative territory. The instructions are easy to understand and the spiral binding allows the book to lay flat so you don't lose your place.

So Pretty You'll Want to Make Them All Feb 29, 2008
I've only been knitting socks since the fall of 2007 and this is my second book dedicated to knitting socks. I love, LOVE, L-O-V-E almost all of the patterns (I'm not quite practiced enough to tackle the fair isle patterns). I'm now on my third pair of socks from this one book and have plans for at least 3 more pairs. The directions are very easy to follow; I've never been much of a "chart reader" but even the charts aren't that challenging. I definitely would recommend this book to others.
