**Disclaimer** I personally purchased this book. I am not affliated with the author, publisher or yarnshop. This is not a sponsored post.
I love knitting and wearing handknit socks.
There is nothing like a handkinit pair of socks, made with a special skein of 4 ply/sock yarn.
When I heard that my LYS were taking pre-orders for Ready Set Socks by Rachel Coopey, I jumped outta my shoes and submitted my order.
I received the book over the weekend and here are my general impressions.
I really like the general layout of the book, which is geared for knitters who want to be Sock Knitters.
Starting off by choosing the knitting needles and yarn, then straight into the nitty gritty of top down sock basics.
I like the way the book is written and the typeface/font is easy to read.
There are 10 top down sock pattern which range from simple to interestingly challenging for Sock Knitters at any level.
There are tutorials on the variations in the cuffs and heels which appealed to my sense of adventure.
At this time, not one particular pattern is calling out to me. However, I do like that there is a hashtag for each sock. So,when I do get the inspirational urge, I can look thru these hashtags on Instagram.
Overall, Pompom published a good all in one book for Sock Knitters and any knitter who is curious about the cuff down sock knitting experience.
My own personal notes:
- this was an impulse buy on pre-order, if I actually got to peruse thru the book first would I buy it? No
- on a positive note, I purchased it from my LYS to support the local economy and received more loyalty tokens
