After all, there are a multitude of sock books on the market these days, perfectly good books. You know everything. Except...do you really? Most (though not all) sock books I own are either filled with patterns with not a whole lot of time spent on technique, or they're full of guidance but with blah patterns. Of course, some do hit the balance between pattern and technique. Some are fairly exhaustive, in fact, and you may already have them on your shelves. But...they're not THIS book. First, this book is by Ann Budd, a genius in our time...\"Master Class\" is the right name!\" - \"KnittingScholar.com\" \n\u003cbr\u003e\"It's not often that I scoop a book from the top of the review pile and take it home with me, and it's even less common for me to sit down and read it right away. But with sock knitting on my mind, I was intrigued, so last night I sat down to peruse this over a cup of tea. I was absolutely delighted to see that the first chapter of the book is devoted to explaining the whys and wherefores of sock construction. Top-down or toe-up? She's got it covered. Heel flap, short row or afterthought heel? Ditto. Want to choose from a pointed toe, a spiral or star toe, or a toe band? She's got your back with that, too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrief Description\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Fiber and yarn enthusiasts nationwide will celebrate Ann Budd's latest addition to The Knitter's Handy Book series. Answering to a growing interest in knitting sweaters from the top down and knitting seamless sweaters that require little finishing, this handy book offers instructions for knitting five basic sweater types: circular yoke, raglan, modified-drop shoulder, set-in sleeve, and saddle shoulder. Patterns are offered in multiple sizes and yarn gauges and for a broad age group. Following the basics for each of the five sweater types are three diverse patterns from top designers that illustrate some of the many ways that instructions can be used as springboards for creative expression, including color, texture, and shaping variations. Also included for intermediate to advanced knitters are personal design touches, detailed charts, clear instruction, and quick tips to expand knitting possibilities and maintain creative originality. A key reference for knitters of all skill levels, this is the new essential knitting resource on your bookshelf. \"--\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIntroduction: Take it from the Top\n\u003cbr\u003eSeamless Yoke Sweaters\n\u003cbr\u003eChild Sizes\n\u003cbr\u003eAdult Sizes\n\u003cbr\u003eProjects\n\u003cbr\u003eOsprey Pullover Pam Allen\n\u003cbr\u003eSlip-Stitch Circular Yoke Pullover Ann Budd\n\u003cbr\u003eFeather and Fan Pullover Ann Budd\n\u003cbr\u003eRaglan Sweaters\n\u003cbr\u003eChild Sizes\n\u003cbr\u003eAdult Sizes\n\u003cbr\u003eProjects\n\u003cbr\u003eLace Henley Anne Hanson\n\u003cbr\u003eFitted Pullover with Cable Details Ann Budd\n\u003cbr\u003eTwisted Rib Pullover Ann Budd\n\u003cbr\u003eModified-Drop Shoulder Sweaters\n\u003cbr\u003eChild Sizes\n\u003cbr\u003eAdult Sizes\n\u003cbr\u003eProjects\n\u003cbr\u003eBasketweave Cardigan Kristen TenDyke\n\u003cbr\u003eZip-Front Pullover Ann Budd\n\u003cbr\u003eMoss Stitch Funnel-Neck Pullover Ann Budd\n\u003cbr\u003eSet-in Sleeve Sweaters\n\u003cbr\u003eChild Sizes\n\u003cbr\u003eAdult Sizes\n\u003cbr\u003eProjects\n\u003cbr\u003eFitted Colorwork Cardigan Jared Flood\n\u003cbr\u003eBrioche Stitch Cardigan Ann Budd\n\u003cbr\u003eGarter Rib Pullover with Collar Ann Budd\n\u003cbr\u003eSaddle Shoulder Sweaters\n\u003cbr\u003eChild Sizes\n\u003cbr\u003eAdult Sizes\n\u003cbr\u003eProjects\n\u003cbr\u003eColorwork Cardigan Veronik Avery\n\u003cbr\u003eCabled Henley Ann Budd\n\u003cbr\u003eVintage-Inspired Tunic-Length Cardigan Ann Budd\n\u003cbr\u003eGlossary\n\u003cbr\u003eSources for Yarns\n\u003cbr\u003eIndex\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarc Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIncludes bibliographical references and index.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBiographical Note\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAnn Budd\u003c\/b\u003e is the best-selling author of \n\u003ci\u003eSock Knitting Master Class\u003c\/i\u003e, \n\u003ci\u003eThe Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns\u003c\/i\u003e, \n\u003ci\u003eThe Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns\u003c\/i\u003e, \n\u003ci\u003eGetting Started Knitting Socks\u003c\/i\u003e, \n\u003ci\u003eInterweave Presents Knitted Gifts\u003c\/i\u003e, \n\u003ci\u003eKnitting Green\u003c\/i\u003e, and \n\u003ci\u003eSimple Style\u003c\/i\u003e.
