Perfect for the advanced-beginner!
|
I received this book as a gift and am SO glad that I did. When I got it, I had knitted about 3 pairs of socks prior (one at a time, using DPNs). I was fairly comfortable with the anatomy of a knitted sock, but I think I could have understood Antje's technique even as a complete beginner.
I have to absolutely RAVE about the photography in this book. I have never seen a knitting book that had so many photos. In the first section of the book where the 2 sock technique is explained, there is a photo of EVERY SINGLE STEP. You can actually just follow the photos without reading a single page of the text and you will still end up with a perfect sock.
I knitted my first sock as a plain stockinette sock using Antje's technique. The second sock I did using this technique was the "Monkey" sock by Cookie A. and I had no problems at all translating the technique over to a more complex pattern.
Since I got this book and started knitting this way, I've had the opportunity to help out at a workshop with Antje in Hendersonville, TN. She is a wonderful person and if you ever have the chance to take a class with her or visit her knit shop in Maryville, TN, I highly recommend it. She's an excellent teacher and an all-around wonderful woman! |
