by Nancy Bush
Nancy Bush updates 24 classic paterns from the Weldon's Practical Needlework book series. Reinvented for today's knitters in contemporary yarns and knitting methods, these time-honored socks include ribbed, textured and colour worked socks, along with two paterns for simple tubes (that's right, no heels to knit!). Socks for men, women, children, babies and even 'young ladies', give knitters of all skill levels plenty of choices. Try your hand at the Gentleman's Shooting Stockings with Fluted Pattern, the Ladies Silk Stockings with Clocks, the Child's First Sock in Shell Pattern, and Baby's Bootikins. The thorough and easy-to-follow patterns and instructions - including a helpful techniques section - makes you feel right at home, and the sturdy spiral binding lets you take this book with you wherever you go.
