Socks Soar On Two Circular Needles:A Manual of Elegant Knitting Techniques and Patterns by Cat Bordi $16.95

This is the first sock knitting book devoted to teaching the simple mysteries of two-circular-needle-sock-knitting, a vastly more efficient and easier method which is rapidly gaining converts.

Eleven original designs, clearly worded instructions, photographs, charts, a section on translating traditional patterns to the two-circular method, and abundant tips and tricks have been put together with great care and a generous sprinkling of humor.

The author answers all of those subtle, almost unframeable questions a new sock knitter has, as well as delighting seasoned sock knitters with innovative sock architecture and techniques.

Review: If you're interested in learning how to knit socks on two circular needles -- a hot topic for many knitters today -- this is the only book you'll ever need to own.

Cat Bordi has been practicing and teaching the socks-on-circular-needles technique for years. Her conviction and enthusiasm are contagious. She knows exactly how to explain it to newbies, anticipating confusing points and conveying comfort and confidence in her friendly, conversant writing style.

If you have a tried-and-true sock pattern that you've always used, fear not: Bordi explains how to convert "traditional" sock patterns for use with two circular needles. Or if you prefer to start from scratch, you can begin with her Simple Sock Pattern.

But don't stop there. There are four easy patterns, six intermediate ones, and one advanced. She touches on every knitting aesthetic, from textures to lace and simple colors.

Although knitting books often include lists of additional resources at the end, few are as useful, insightful, or fun to read as Bordi's.

Not only does she list yarn sources and reference materials, but she takes the time to explain exactly why she's including them and what you'll gain from pursuing them yourself.
