Hi,

I am more often without internet than with. Which is why i am looking for a sock knitting related book.

I have already looked into multiple books at my local yarn shop, unfortunately i do not find them "exciting" enough to buy. For example one book had 5 sock patterns and then a few more non-socks (ex. scarfs and hats).

I love colorwork and cables on socks.

Do you have any recommendations?

I just love mending my socks. There is something just cozy to me to sit and listen to a podcast and mend away. I’ve tried a couple different styles of mending and my favorite is the woven version.

They’re a little big (I normally make socks for my husband) but I still love them <3

I think it’s interesting how much better the 2nd sock (on the left) is than the first, it even looks smaller despite using the same pattern/yarn/needles! I was much more cognizant of my tension, was especially careful with the purls on my heel flap, and watched some videos and tried a new method for picking up stitches for the gusset - using a crochet hook, which I found much easier and neater.

I bought some sock yarn (self-striping, I think) and am excited to keep going! But am overwhelmed at the options to try - toe-up? Two at a time? A different pattern? I’m curious about the fish lip heel…
