Now THIS is a knitting book that makes me smile. Every pattern is utterly unique, well thought out, and niche. There is a pattern for every single knitter in here! The patterns are organized by section: pets, garden, less-popular holidays, parties, and hobbies (think chess, camping, fashion, etc.). The colorwork charts are very clear and easy to follow, and you rarely have to catch floats! Every pattern looks lovely, interesting, and entertaining to knit.
I also love this book because Charlotte has whole sections on catching floats, yarn and color combos, how to beat second sock syndrome, and how to design your very own colorwork socks! Her wealth of knowledge is so valuable to those of us who love beautiful and interesting socks.
I knit the Birthday Cupcake socks from this book, and I loved the process so much. The colorwork was addicting and looks stunning. I can't wait to make more patterns from this book!
Thank you, Page Street, for the review copy!
