Make Toe-Up Socks for the Whole Family

Love to knit socks but never tried starting at the toe? Want to knit socks but haven’t because of a fear of Kitchener stitch? Avidly knit toe-up socks but want to learn how to customize toes and heels to better fit your feet? If so, this is the book for you!

Toe-up just arrived today. I love this book, it’s sure to be a hot seller. The author Chrissy Gardiner did a fantastic job giving a toe-up master class with 15 unique sock patterns and well-illustrated technique tutorials. I recommend this book to anyone beginner to advanced interested in knitting socks. Binding off has always been a challenge for me with the toe-up method and this book gives excellent options that create flexable finishes. The book is worth it just for that amazing tidbit!

I can hardly wait to get started on my socks. I love wearing and showing off my hand knit socks. The cold weather is setting in and my fingers are itching to knit.
