Review
Knitters know the first sock finished brings great joy, quickly followed by the dismay that there s still a second one that has to be completed. The second-sock syndrome is over, thanks to Melissa Morgan-Oakes. The author of 2-at-a-Time Socks shows knitters how, with one circular needle, two socks can be completed at once. Hurray! (Chicago Sun-Times )
Not only can you learn how to knit socks on a circular needle, you will learn how to knit them at the same time, ensuring they are exactly the same when finished. No more second-sock syndrome! The hardcover book has a wire binding so that it lies perfectly flat when open. As if all the great instructions weren t enough, there are 17 patterns included for men, women, and children. Once you try a single 40 needle, you might just give up your dpns forever! April 2008 (Knit'N'Style )

Product Description
Sock knitters everywhere know the frustration of Second Sock Syndrome. It goes something like this: A cute new sock pattern and soft, foot-warming yarn lead to many happy knitting hours, resulting in . . . ONE sock. The first sock is done (and it's adorable!) but pattern distraction sets in. Who wants to knit the same project all over again? There are so many new projects waiting to be discovered. Melissa Morgan-Oakes ends the drudgery of the second sock by showing knitters how to cast on and knit two socks at one time on one long circular needle! Her method is captured in step-by-step photographs, clearly showing knitters how to turn out two socks at the same time. Goodbye to lonely, abandoned single socks. Hello to unlimited pretty pairs, knit on one needle (often finished on the same day), and worn with pride and that gratifying sense of accomplishment. Oakes is a dedicated knitter, knitwear designer, and knitting instructor who has known the frustration of Second Sock Syndrome. Her easy-to-learn technique enables sock stitchers to adapt any pattern to her two-at-a-time method. But before experimenting with other patterns, readers will want to try Morgan-Oakes's 15 original designs. Fun and creative, they include simple to complex choices, a variety of yarn weights, and designs for women, men, and children. Socks are small, relatively inexpensive, and interesting to knit a favorite portable choice of busy knitters. Keep the fun in sock-stitching with the innovative new technique that produces two socks yes, that's one sock for each foot at the very same time! Consumer testimonial "I am a new knitter and purchased 2-at-a-time Socks. Perfect! This is a book is the best investment I've ever made! I have a lovely pair of socks ... for the first time! Very comprehensive instructions, as well as a very easy-to-understand glossary in the back. I recommend this book to anyone interested in knitting socks. So much easier than the double pointed needles! Deborah, Colorado Springs, CO

Brilliant,

This review is from: 2-at-a-Time Socks: The Secret of Knitting Two at Once on a Circular Needle (Spiral-bound)
This technique for knitting socks is well explained. The patterns are beautiful and easy to accomplish. I have been knitting socks for a few years on 5 needles and I wish I had learned this way first. It is so nice to finish both socks at the same time, not being thrilled to finish one and realizing you still have to make another one.

not for first time sock knitter,

This review is from: 2-at-a-Time Socks: The Secret of Knitting Two at Once on a Circular Needle (Spiral-bound)
I found the instructions to be quite confusing, perhaps if I had knitted socks before it would have made a bit more sense, but this is definitely not a book for anyone less than an experienced sock knitter! I have been knitting for quite a while and still found these instructions beyond me.

Great Book to Learn this Technique,

This review is from: 2-at-a-Time Socks: The Secret of Knitting Two at Once on a Circular Needle (Spiral-bound)
I was very pleased with the instructions in this book. The technique was well explained and the accompanying photos in the tutorial were a godsend in helping to illustrate the steps. I have only done the tutorial toddlers socks to date but am confident now that I could make this technique work with almost any socks. I loved being able to finish both socks, equally sized, at once. I had previously only knit socks on four double points. I do think that some knitting experience might be beneficial before attempting this but as I said before, it is well explained and there is a useful glossary section in the back (with photos) that provides further explainations. I also like that the book lies flat which is very useful while following through the tutorial. There are lots of patterns included for socks for every member of the family as well. Overall, an excellent buy!
