Knit 2 Socks in 1:The Easiest Method Ever for Knitting Two Socks at Once
by Safiyyah Talley, release date: March, 1, 2022
If you knit socks, YOU NEED THIS! Even a newbie to socks could find this their go to method.
I have always wanted an old, antique sock knitting machine where you just crank out these huge tubes and make socks quick as a bunny. Well Safiyyah Talley has shown us how to do this, but without the machine. Now we can knit tubes for days & put our socks together all at once. Heck, we could just knit tubes all year and put these together when we feel like it!
Through the first 30% of the book she discusses the remedial knitting stuff like yarn weights, fibers, needles, knitting in the round, swatching, blocking (make your own sock blocker!). She expands by showing how to knit socks with every style of needles, double points, circulars, etc. You become one with the method of “Lifelines”. You learn different methods of soles and bind offs. A nice chunk of required sock anatomy education and then the meat of the book begins.
The book provides 7 unique stitches and 22 patterns using her tube method for basic socks, yoga socks, ankle socks, no show socks, calf socks, lace socks, booties, bed socks and more! Patterns included for yarn weights from Fingering to Super Bulky & for everyone from babies to adults.
Before I thought this book couldn’t get any better, there is more! Included are CHARTS for Sizing your Socks, Shoe Size Conversion and Metric Conversions to Convert to Length and Width.
Note: *All of these socks use an afterthought heel.* Not sure what that is? No worries, she shows you.
