As an avid and long-time knitter, I've looked at a lot of knitting books and Ebooks over the years. When it comes to those specifically created for beginner sock knitters, this is one of the best I've seen, to date.
The information included is written in an easy to understand way.
Instructions are clear and concise.
Chapters include:
- The Anatomy of a Sock
-Toe-Up Sock
-Knitting Two Socks at a Time
-Advanced and Beginner Cuff Down Socks
-Darning and Mending (I learned some tips on that topic!)
and several other pertinent topics, including several sock patterns.
I haven't actually tried any of the patterns in this Ebook yet, but reading through them, they look like they would work just fine! If any of you do try these, let me know how they work out. I'm currently taking a bit of a break from sock knitting myself but I know I'll be back to it, by the fall. It's kind of addictive, after you've made that first pair! LOL
This Ebook is nicely formatted too, with full color photos throughout. As a Kindle author myself, I know how much work goes into formatting an Ebook properly. And it does add a lot to any type of book, when it is done well.
And speaking of photos, I think they are so much better and easier than diagrams in any kind of yarn-craft book, especially for beginners to follow.
If you've always wanted to knit socks but perhaps thought they were too difficult for a beginner knitter, think again. How To Knit Socks for Beginners, will have you turning out lovely knit socks for yourself and for gifts, in no time.
PS: At the time of posting this, this Ebook is available free over at Amazon, so a great time to get a copy! ;-)
Overall rating for this Ebook: Excellent. 5 out of 5
